Ghost Riders In The Sky

An old cowboy 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 steers he saw
A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a 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
He saw the riders comin' hard,
Heard their mournful cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in, ghost riders in the sky

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch the herd but they ain't caught it yet
For they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on hear their cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in, ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
