The Outlaws (Southern Rock Band) - (Ghost) Riders in the Sky lyrics

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 steers he saw A ploughin' through the ragged skies and up a 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 He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry Yippie i ay Yippie i oh Ghost riders in Ghost riders in the sky Yippie i ay (Yippie i ay) Yippie i oh (Yippie i oh) Ghost riders in the sky Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky On horses snorting fire as they ride hard, hear them cry Yippie i ay Yippie i oh Ghost riders in Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky
