Karaoké Riders in the Sky (A Cowboy Legend) Vaughn Monroe

An old cowpoke 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 cows he saw

A-ploughin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Yippee-i-ay

Yippee-i-o

A ghost herd in the sky

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

Yippee-i-ay

Yippee-i-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt

Their eyes were blurred and shirts all soaked with sweat

They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught 'em yet

'Cos they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky

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

Yippee-i-o

Yippee-i-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name

If you want to save your soul from hell a-ridin' on our range

Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride

A-tryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies

Yippee-i-ay

Yippee-i-ay

Yippee-i-o

Yippee-i-o

Ghost riders in

The sky

Yippee-i-ay

Yippee-i-o
