Marty Robbins - (Ghost) Riders In The Sky Lyrics
Yippie-I-a, yippie-I-oGhost riders in the skyAn old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day(yippie-I-a)Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his wayWhen all at once a mighty bunch of red eyed cows he sawPlowin' through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy drawYippie-I-a, yippie-I-oGhost riders in the skyTheir brands were still on fire and their hoofs were made of steel( yippie-I-a)Their horns were black and shinny and their hot breath he could feelA bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the skyHe saw the riders commin' hard, and he heard their mournful cryYippie-I-a, yippie-I-oGhost riders in the skyTheir faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,Their shirts all soaked with sweat. (yippie-I-a)They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they aint caught 'em yet''Cause ya gotta ride forever on that range up in the sky,On horses snorting fire, as they ride on, hear their cry.Yippie-I-a, yippie-I-oGhost riders in the skyAs the riders went on by him, he heard one call his name(yippie-I-a)If you wantta to save your soul from ever ridin' on our range,Then cowboy change your way today, or with us you will ride,Tryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skiesYippie-I-a, yippie-I-oGhost riders in the skyGhost riders in the sky
