Lyrics

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 cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
Yippie-yi-ooh
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost Riders in the sky
Their brands were still on fire, and their hot breath he could feel
Their horns were black and shiny, and their hooves were made of steel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
He saw the riders coming hard, he heard their mournful cry
Yippie-yi-ooh
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost Riders in the sky
The riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on this range
Cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd across the endless skies
Yippie-yi-ooh
Yippie-yi-yay
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
