Riders In The Sky

Riders In The Sky - Vaughn Monroe

Written by：Palmer/Van Ness

A lone 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

Yippee yi yo yippee yi ghost herd in the sky

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were

Made of steel

Their horns were black and shiny and their hots 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 cry

Yippee I ay yippee I o

Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred and shirts all

Soaked with sweat

They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't

Caught 'em yet

'Cause they got to ride forever on that range up

In the sky

On horses snortin' fire as they ride on hear their

Cry

Yippee I o yippee I 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

Yippee I ay yippee I ay yippee I o yippee

I o

Ghost riders in the sky

Yippee I ay yippee I o
