An old cow polk went ridin' one dark and windy day

Upon a ranch 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 sky and up the cloudy draw



Yippee-i-yay

Yippee-i-yo

Ghost riders in the sky





Their brands were still on fire and thier hoofs were made of steel

Their horns were black and shiney and thier hot breath he could feel

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky





Yippee-i-yay

Yippee-i-yo

Ghost riders in the sky





Their faces gone, their eyes were blurred , their shirts all soaked with sweat

Their rindin' hard to catch that heard but they ain't caught em yet

cause they got to ride forever in that range up in the sky

On horses snortin' fire... as they ride they hear their cry





Yippee-i-yay

Yippee-i-yo

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, you're ridin' on that range

Then cowboy, change your ways todayor with us you'll ride on

Tryin' to catch the devil's herd across the endless sky'

Yippee-i-yay (yippee-i-yay)

Yippee-i-yo (yippee-i-yo)

Ghost riders in the sky
