Written by：Stan Jones

An old cowboy 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

Plowin 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 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 cries

Yippie I aye ye ye

Yippie I ohhh ohh ohh

Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred

Their shirts all soaked with sweat

Their ridin' hard to catch that herd

But he ain't caught em yet

Cause they got to ride forever in that range up in the sky

On horses snortin' fire as they ride on hear their cries

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name

'If you wanna save your soul from hell a ridin' on our range

Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride

Tryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies

Yippie I aye ye ye

Yippie I ohhh oh oh

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky
