Riders Radio Theme

[The Riders do an coyote call one by one before harmonizing at the end]
[Stock sound effect of a gun cocking and firing]
[Sounds of cattle stamping]

[Spoken Introduction by Texas Bix Bender]
Riders Radio Theater is on the air!

[Verse 1][Riders in the Sky]
Yo-de-lay-di-oh
It's the Riders on the radio
Come on, partner, saddle up and go
Get ready for the cowboy show
Yo-de-lay-di-Yo-de-lay-di-ay
We've been workin' since the break of day
We've been doin' it "The Cowboy Way"
And now it's time to play
We're gonna ride, and rope, and wrangle a tune
We're gonna hoot, and holler, and howl at the moon
[The Riders do an coyote call one by one before harmonizing at the end]

[Texas Bix Bender]
Yes, buckaroos and buckarettes it's time to ride the airwaves once again with America's favorite cowboys: Riders in the Sky. Too Slim, the man with a dozen friends, Woody Paul, The King of The Cowboy Fiddlers, and Ranger Doug, The Idol of American Youth. This is Texas Bix Bender inviting you to saddle up and join Riders in the Sky for a thrilling program of high-yodeling adventure!

[Verse 2][Riders in the Sky]
We're gonna ride, and rope, and wrangle a tune
We're gonna hoot, and holler, and howl at the moon
[The Riders do an coyote call one by one before harmonizing at the end]
Yo-de-lay-di-ooh
Every buckarette and buckaroo
There's a place around the fire for you
With Riders in the Sky
So come on and let's ride
