Johnny Cash - Ghost Riders in the Sky (with Willie Nelson) Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, Ghost riders in the sky 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 bunch Of red-eyed cows he saw, Plowing through the ragged skies And up the cloudy draw. Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, Ghost riders in the sky Their brands were still on fire and Their hooves were made of steel, Their horns were black and shining 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 coming hard And he heard their mournful cry: Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, Ghost riders in the sky Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat,(Yippee-yi-ya) They're riding hard to catch that herd But they ain't caught 'em yet, 'cause they've gotta ride forever on That range up in the sky, On horses snortin' fire As they ride on hear their cry: Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, Ghost riders in the sky As the riders went on by him He heard one call his name, If you want to save your soul from ever Ridin' on our range, Then cowboy change your ways today, Or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies. Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo, Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky
