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
