An old cow polk went ridin# one dark and windy day 
Upon a ranch 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 sky and up the cloudy draw 

Yippee-I-Yay 
Yippee-I-Yo 
Ghost Riders in the Sky 


Their brands were still on fire and thier hoofs were made of steel 
Their horns were black and shiney and thier hot breath he could feel 

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky 


Yippee-I-Yay 
Yippee-I-Yo 
Ghost Riders in the Sky 


Their faces gone, their eyes were blurred , their shirts all soaked with 
sweat 
Their rindin# hard to catch that heard but they ain#t caught #em yet 
#Cause they got to ride forever in that range up in the sky 
On horses snortin# fire... as they ride they hear their cry 


Yippee-I-Yay 
Yippee-I-Yo 
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, you#re ridin# on that range 
then cowboy, change your ways today or with us you#ll ride on 
tryin# to catch the devil#s herd across the endless sky` 
Yippee-I-Yay (Yippee-I-Yay) 
Yippee-I-Yo (Yippee-I-Yo) 
Ghost Riders in the Sky
