Riders on 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 Plowing through the ragged skies and up the cloudy draw Yippie ya hey Yippie ya oh Ghostriders 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 ya hey Yippie ya oh Ghostriders in the sky Yippie ya hey Yippie ya oh Ghostriders 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 our range Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies Yippie ya hey Yippie ya oh Ghostriders in the sky Ghostriders in the sky
