Ghost Riders in the Sky Songtext
von Eddy Arnold

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 herd, of red eyed cows, he saw
A ploughin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw
Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-oh, the ghost riders 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
Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-oh, the ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts, all soaked with sweat
He's ridin' hard, to catch that herd, but he ain′t caught ′em yet
'Cause they got to ride forever, on that range up in the sky
On horses snortin′ fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-oh, the 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
Tryin′ to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies
Yi-pi-yi-ay, yi-pi-yi-oh, the ghost riders in the sky
