0:12An old cowpoke went riding out
0:14One dark and windy day
0:18Upon a ridge he rested as
0:21He went along his way
0:25When all at once a mighty herd
0:27Of red eyed cows he saw
0:30A-plowin' through the ragged skies
0:34And up a cloudy draw
0:39Their brands were still on fire and
0:41Their hooves were made of steel
0:46Their horns were black and shiny and
0:48Their hot breath he could feel
0:52A bolt of fear shot through him as
0:55He looked up in the sky
0:57For he saw the riders comin' hard
1:01And he heard their mournful cry:
1:06Yippee-yi-ya yippee-yi-yo
1:16Ghost riders in the sky
1:51Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred
1:53Their shirts all soaked with sweat
1:57He's riding hard to catch that herd
1:59But he ain't caught 'em yet
2:03'Cause they've got to ride forever on
2:06That range up in the sky
2:08On horses snortin' fire
2:12As They ride on hear their cry:
2:19The cowpokes loped on past him and
2:21He heard one call his name
2:27If you want to save your soul from hell
2:30A-riding on our range
2:32Then cowboy change your ways today
2:34Or with us you will ride
2:36A-trying to catch the devil's herd
2:41Across these endless skies
2:45Yippee-yi-ya yippee-yi-yo
2:55Ghost riders in the sky
3:04Ghost riders in the sky
3:12Ghost riders in the sky
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 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 shot through him as He looked up in the sky For he saw the riders comin' hard And he heard their mournful cry: Yippee-yi-ya yippee-yi-yo Ghost riders in the sky Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd But he ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever on That range up in the sky On horses snortin' fire As They ride on hear their cry: The cowpokes loped on past him and 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 A-trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies Yippee-yi-ya yippee-yi-yo Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky
