Verse 1
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.
Chorus
Yip-i-yi-ay, Yip-i-yi-o, Ghost riders in the sky.
Verse 2
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.
For he saw the riders comin' hard, he could hear their mournful cry.
Chorus
Yip-i-yi-ay, Yip-i-yi-o, Ghost riders in the sky.
Verse 3
Their face were gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat,
They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet.
They've got to ride forever on the range up in the sky,
On horses snorting fire and as they ride on, hear them cry.
Chorus
Yip-i-yi-ay, Yip-i-yi-o, Ghost riders in the sky.
Verse 4
And as the riders loped on by he heard one call his name,
If you want to save your soul from hell a ridin' on this range,
Then cowboy better change your ways or with us you will ride,
Trying to catch the devil's herd across the endless skies.
Chorus
Yip-i-yi-ay, Yip-i-yi-o, Ghost riders in the sky.
Yip-i-yi-ay, Yip-i-yi-o, Ghost riders in the sky.
