(Ghost) Riders In The Sky
(Johnny Cash)

(S. Jones)

An old cowboy went riding 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
Plowing through the ragged sky and up a 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 coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippy-ya-ho, yippy-ya-hey
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that ranch up in the sky
All horses snorting fire, as they ride on hear their cry

As the riders passed on by him, he heard one call his name
If you wanna to save your soul from hell and riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies

Yippy-ya-ho, yippy-ya-hey
Ghost riders in the sky
