An old cowboy
Went ridin' out
One dark and windy day
Upon a ridge
He rested
As he went
Along his way
When all at once
A mighty herd
Of red eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through
The ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw
Their brands
Were still on fire
And their hooves
Were made of steel
Their horns
Were black and shiny
And their hot breath
He could feel
A bolt of fear
Went through him
As they thundered
Through the sky
For he saw
The riders comin' hard
And he heard
Their mournful cry
Yippee yi yo
Yippee yi yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts
All soaked with sweat
He's ridin' hard
To catch that herd
But he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got
To ride forever
On that range
Up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire
As they ride on
Hear their cry
As the riders
Loped on by him
He heard one
Call his name
If you wanna save
Your soul from ****
ridin' on our range
Then cowboy change
Your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch
The devil's herd
Across these
End less skies
Yippee yi yo
Yippee yi yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
