An old cowboy
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 herd

Of red eyed cows he saw
Plowin' through

The rugged skies
And up the cloudy draw
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 hea rd

Their mournful cry
Yip pee yi yo,

Yippee yi yoy
Ghost riders in the sky
(Instrumental Break)
Their fa ces gaunt

Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts
All soaked with sweat
He's rid in' he rd

To catch that herd
But he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've 901
To ride forever

On that range
Up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire

As they ride on
Hear their cry
As the riders
Loped on by him

He heard one
Call his name
If you wanna save

Your soul from hell
A-ridin' on our range
Tryin' to catch
The devil's herd

Across these
End less skies
Yippee yi yo,
Yippee yi yoy
Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
