Riders in the Sky

An old cowpoke 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
 A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
 Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
 ♪
 Ghost herd in the sky
 Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
 Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel
 A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
 For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
 Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
 ♪
 Ghost riders in the sky
 Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
 They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
 They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
 On horses snortin' flame an' fire, as they ride on, hear them cry
 Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
 ♪
 Ghost riders in the sky
 As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
 "If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range"
 "Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride"
 "A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."
