Yippee-I-aye, yippee-I-o   Ghost riders in the sky      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 bunch of red eyed cows he saw   Plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw      Yippee-I-aye, yippee-I-o   Ghost riders in the sky      Brands were still on fire and their hoofs 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   He saw the riders commin' hard and he heard their mournful cry      Yippee-I-aye, yippee-I-o   Ghost riders in the sky      Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat   They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught 'em yet'   'Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky   On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cry      Yippee-I-aye, yippee-I-o   Ghost riders in the sky      As the riders went on by him he heard one call his name   If you wanna save your soul from ever ridin' on our range   Then cowboy change your way today or with us you will ride   Tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across the endless skies      Yippee-I-aye, yippee-I-o   Ghost riders in the sky   Ghost riders in the sky
