Riders In The Sky Lyrics

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!

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
Come through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!
Ghost riders 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
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked With sweat They're riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
Cause they've got to ride forever on the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!
Ghost riders in the sky

The riders rode 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
Trying to catch this devil herd across these endless skies

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
