[Verse 1]
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 the cloudy draw
[Chorus]
Aye-yay, yippee-yi-yo
Ghost herd in the sky
[Verse 2]
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 cry
[Chorus]
Aye-yay, yippee-yi-yo
Ghost riders in the sky
[Verse 3]
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
"If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range
Then, cowboy, change your ways today, or with us you will ride
A-trying to catch the devil's herd (aye-aye) across these endless skies"
[Outro]
Aye-yay, yippee-yi-yo
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Yippee-yi-yo
