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.

Plowing through the ragged skies, and up the 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.
For he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their
mournful cry.


CHORUS:

Ghost Riders In The Sky.


Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts
all soaked with sweat.
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught
'em yet.
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that rage up in the
sky.
All the horses snorting fire, as they ride on hear their
cry.

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one called his
name.
If you wanna save your soul from Hell a-riding 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.

CHORUS:
