A song originally written by Stan Jones in 1948. As a young teen, I often requested this song at the Shangri-la Hotel where Matthew and the Mandarins performed. I'm sure I saw Johnny Cash performing it on the Muppet Show when I was really young, and probably heard various versions on the radio.
- Youn Sun Nah, Lento
- 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 ooh
- Yippie yi yay
- 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."
- Yippie yi ooh
- Yippie yi yay
- Ghost riders in the sky
- Ghost riders in the sky
- Ghost Riders in the sky
- Johnny Cash, 1979, Silver (+muppets) Burl Ives (1949)
