Desperados - Riders In The Sky Lyrics
An old cowboy went out on a dark and windy dayUpon a ridge he rested as he went along his wayWhen all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he sawPlowing through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw.Yippie aye-aaa, yippie aye-ooh.Ghost riders in the sky.Their brands were still on fireand their hooves were made of steelTheir horns were black and shiningand their hot breath he could feelA bolt of fear went through himas they thundered through the sky,For he saw the riders coming hardand he heard their mournful cry.Yippie aye-aaa, yippie aye-ooh.Ghost riders in the sky.Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurredand shirts all soaked with sweatThey're riding hard to catch that headbut they ain't caught them yet,'cause they've got to ride foreveron that range up in the skyOn horses snorting as they rideand hear their awful cryYippie aye-aaa, yippie aye-ooh.Ghost riders in the sky.As the riders loped on by himhe heard one calls his nameIf you want to save your soulfrom hell riding on your rangeThen cowboy change your ways todayor with us you will rideTrying to catch the devil's herdacross these endless skiesYippie aye-aaa, yippie aye-ooh.Ghost riders in the sky.
