(Ghost) Riders In The Sky
Marty Robbins
Yippie-I-ay yippie-I-o
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
Plowin' through the ragged skies
and up a cloudy draw
Yippie-I-ay yippie-I-o
Ghost herd 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
commin' hard
and he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-I-ay yippie-I-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt
their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all
soaked with swea
They're ridin' hard to
catch that herd
but they aint caught em yet
'Cause they got ride forever
on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
as they ride on
hear their cry
Yippie-I-ay yippie-I-o
Ghost riders in the sky
As the riders loped on by him
he heard one call his name
If you wanta to save your soul
from hell aridin' on our range
Then cowboy change
your ways today
or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch
the devil's herd
across these endless skies
Yippie-I-ay yippie-I-o
Ghost riders in the sky
