Peggy Lee - Riders In The Sky (Ghost) lyrics

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
Come rushin' through the ragged skies
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 you could feel
A bolt of fear went through him
As they thundered through the sky
He saw the riders coming hard and
He heard their mournful cry

Yipie I oh Yipie I ay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their face is gaunt their eyes were
Blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd
But they ain't caught 'em yet
'cause they've got to ride forever in
The range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they
Ride hard hear them cry

The riders leaned on by him he
Heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from
Hell a riding on our range
Then cow - boy change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch this devil herd
A - cross these endless skies

Yipie I oh Yipie I ay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
