GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
AN OLD COWPOKE WENT RIDING 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
A -- PLOWIN’ THROUGH THE RAGGED SKIES
AND UP THE CLOUDY DRAW
YIPPEE-I-AY---- YIPPEE-I-OHH----
A GHOST HEARD IN THE SKY
THEIR BRANDS WERE STILL ON FIRE AND THEIR HOOFS 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 HEARD THEIR MOUNRFUL CRY
YIPPEE-I-AY---- YIPPEE-I-OHH----
GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
THEIR FACES GAUNT, THEIR EYES WERE BLURRED, THEIR SHIRTS ALL SOAKED WITH SWEAT,
THEY’RE RIDIN’ HARD TO CATCH THAT HERD BUT THEY AIN’T CAUGHT THEM YET
THEY’VE GOT TO RIDE FOREVER ON THAT RANGE UP IN THE SKY
ON HORSES SNORTIN’ FIRE
AS THEY RIDE ON HEAR THEM CRY
YIPPEE-I-AY---- YIPPEE-I-OHH----
GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
AS THE RIDERS LOPED ON BY HIM HE HEARD ONE CALL HIS NAME
IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR SOUL FROM HELL A-RIDIN’ ON A RANGE
THEN COWBOY CHANGE YOUR WAYS TODAY OR WITH US YOU WILL RIDE
A -- TRYIN’ TO CATCH THAT DEVIL’S HERD
ACROSS THESES ENDLESS SKIES
YIPPEE-I-AY---- YIPPEE-I-OHH----
GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
YIPPEE-I-AY---- YIPPEE-I-OHH----
GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
