Concrete Blonde

Ghost Riders In The Sky

An old cowboy 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

Plowin' through the raging sky and up a cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs were

made of steel

Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath

they could feel

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered

through the sky

He saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their

mournful cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their

shirts were soaked with sweat

He's ridin' hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught

them yet

'Cause they've got to ride forever in that range up in

the sky

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

cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

The riders rode on by him and 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

Tryin' to catch this devil's herd

Across these endless skies."

Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,

Ghost riders in the sky.

Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,

Ghost riders in the sky.
