An old cowboy went rindin' 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 Plowin through the ragid skies and up a cloudy draw Yippie i aye ye ye Yippie i ohhh ohh ohh Ghost herd in the skies 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 and he heard their mournful cries Yippie i ohhh ohh ohh (Yippie i aye ye ye) Yippie i ohhh ohh ohh (Yippie i aye ye ye) Ghost riders in the sky As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name 'If you want to save your soul from hell a-ridin on our range Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride Tryin to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies Yippie i ohhh oh oh (Yippie i aye ye ye) Yippie i ohhh oh oh (Yippie i aye ye ye) Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky
