Frankie Laine - Ghost Riders In The Sky lyrics
rate meAn old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day,<br />
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,<br />
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw,<br />
A-plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.<br />
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o; the ghost herd in the sky.<br />
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel,<br />
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel,<br />
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky,<br />
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry.<br />
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o, ghost riders in the sky.<br />
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat.<br />
They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet,<br />
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,<br />
On horses snortin' fire as they ride on, hear their cry.<br />
Yippee-yi-o, yippee-yi-o, ghost riders in the sky.<br />
They're ridding hard forever on that range up in the sky,<br />
For they've got to catch the devil's herd as they ride on hill and cry.<br />
Yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yi, ghost riders in the sky.<br />
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name.<br />
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on a range,<br />
Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride,<br />
A-trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies.<br />
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o, the ghost riders in the sky
