Ghostriders In The Sky  - Outlaws/Johnny Cash

Manny B Rodriguez  9-07-2002

An old cowboy 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 redeyed cows he saw,
plowin' through the ragged skies,
and up a 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 comin' hard,
and he heard their mournful cry.

Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
their shirts all soaked with sweat.
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd,
but he aint 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.

Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky

Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
