Riders In The Sky (a Cowboy Legend) Lyrics - Blues Brothers

Two young cowboys went riding out one dark and windy day 

Upon a ridge they rested as they went up on their way 

When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed sheep they saw 

A plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw 

Yippie yi yay, yippie yi ooh 

Ghost Riders in the sky 

Yippie yi yay, yippie yi ooh 

Ghost Riders in the sky 

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel 

His heart was black and shiny and his hot breath he could feel 

A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky 

For he saw his Rider coming hard and he heard his joyful cry 

Yippie yi yay, yippie yi ooh 

Ghost Riders in the sky 

Yippie yi yay, yippie yi ooh 

Ghost Riders in the sky
