An old gumball 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-plowin' through the ragged sky and up a cloudy draw
Yippie i ay Yippie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were bright 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
Yippie i ay 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 the herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
'Cuz they've gotta ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
Yippie i ay Yippie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
If you wanna save your soul from hell A-ridin' on our range
Then gumball change your ways today or with us you will ride
A-tryin to catch the devils herd across these endless skies
Yippie i ay Yippie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
