Ghost Riders In The Sky Lyrics - Paradise - Judy Collins

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 

A-plowing through the ragged sky 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 

Yippie yi Ohhhhh 

Yippie yi yaaaaay 

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 range up in the sky 

On horses snorting fire 

As they ride on hear their cry 

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name 

If you want to 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
