(ghost) riders in the sky

Singer: me first and the gimme gimmes

two young cowboys went riding out one dark and windy day

upon a ridge they rested as they went along 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 yaaaaay

yippie yi oooooh

ghost riders in the sky

yippie yi yaaaaay

yippie yi oooooh

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 yaaaaay

yippie yi oooooh

ghost riders in the sky

yippie yi yaaaaay

yippie yi oooooh

ghost riders in the sky
