"(Ghost) Riders In The Sky" lyrics - OUTLAWS

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 steers he saw
A ploughin' 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
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie I ay Yippie I oh
Ghost riders in
Ghost riders in the sky

Yippie I ay (Yippie I ay) Yippie I oh (Yippie I oh)
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 'aint caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard, hear them cry

Yippie I ay Yippie I oh
Ghost riders in
Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky
