Outlaws Ghost Riders In The Sky
An old cowpoke 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
A plowin' through the ragged skies
and up a cloudy draw
Yippie I Ay, Yippie I Oh
Ghost herd in the sky
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
He saw the riders coming hard
and he heard their mournful cry
Yippie I Ay, Yippie I Oh
Ghost riders in the sky
Their face is gaunt their eyes were blurred
their shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd
but they 'aint caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever
in the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
as they ride hard hear them cry
Yippie I Ay, Yippie I Oh
Ghost riders in the sky
The riders 'loped on by him
he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul
from hell a riding on our range
then cowboy change your ways today
or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch this devil herd
across these endless skies
Yippie I Ay, Yippie I Oh
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in
Ghost riders in the sky
