An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day

Upon a ridge he rested as he went upon his way

When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw

Coming through the ragged sky, and up a cloudy draw.

Chorus:

Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh

Ghost herd in the sky.

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 rumbled through the sky

Then he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry.

Chorus:

Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh

Ghost herd in the sky.

Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweet

Their riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet

For they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky

As horses snorting fire, as they ride on hear their cries.

Chorus:

Yippe-ai-ay, yippee-ai-oh

Ghost herd in the sky.

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...
