The Brothers Four - Riders In The Sky lyrics

rate me

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 herd Of red eyed cows he saw A plowin' through the ragged sky, And up a cloudy draw Yippie-I-O, yippie-I-Ay We're ghost riders in the sky Their hoofs were made of fire And their horns were made of steel And as they thundered by him Their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear swept through him As he looked up in the sky He saw the riders commin' hard, And heard their mournful cry Yippie-I-O, yippie-I-Ay Ghost riders in the sky As the riders loped on by him, He heard one call his name If you wanta 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-O, yippie-I-Ay The ghost riders in the sky The ghost riders in the sky...
