Marty Robbins - Ghost Riders In The Sky lyrics

rate me

Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o<br />

Ghost riders in the sky<br />

<br />

An old cowpoke went ridin' 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 />

Plowin' through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw<br />

<br />

Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o<br />

Ghost riders in the sky<br />

<br />

Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs 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 commin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry<br />

<br />

Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o<br />

Ghost riders in the sky<br />

<br />

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, <br />

Their shirts all soaked with sweat.<br />

They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they aint caught 'em yet'<br />

'Cause they must ride forever on that range up in the sky, <br />

On horses snorting fire, as they ride on, hear their cry.<br />

<br />

Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o<br />

Ghost riders in the sky<br />

<br />

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name<br />

If you wanta to save your soul from hell aridin' on our range, <br />

Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride, <br />

Tryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies<br />

<br />

Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o<br />

Ghost riders in the sky<br />

Ghost riders in the sky
