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 ghost riders in the sky
Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-o
He saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
Ghost riders in ghost riders in the sky
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
Ghost riders in ghost riders in the sky
Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-o
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
