Riders in the Sky - Frankie Laine

作曲：S. Jones

Yi-pi-yi-ay Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost herd in the sky

An old cowpoke 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'plowin' through the ragged skies

And up a cloudy draw

Yi-pi-yi-ay Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost herd in the sky

Their brands were still on fire

And their hooves were made of steel

Their horns wuz black and shiny

And their hot breaths 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

Yi-pi-yi-ay Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred

Their shirts all soaked with sweat

They're ridin' hard to catch that herd

But they ain't caught them yet

'Cause they've got to ride forever in

That range up in the sky

On horses snortin' flame an' fire

As they ride on hear them cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

As the riders loped on by him

He heard one call his name

If you want to save your soul from

He'll a' ridin' on our range

Then cowboy change your ways today

Or with us you will ride

A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd

Across these endless skies

Yi-pi-yi-ay Yi-pi-yi-o

Ghost riders in the sky

Yi-pi-yi-ay Yi-pi-yi-o
