Elvis Presley - Ghost Riders in the Sky - MGM Rehearsal 2 lyrics

An old cowboy went ridin' out On a 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 Plowing through the ragged skies And up the cloudy draw Their brands were still on fire and Their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shining 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: Yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yi-ya Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat They're riding hard to catch that herd But they ain't caught 'em yet 'cause they've got to ride forever on That range up in the sky On horses snortin' 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 Ridin' 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 Yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yi-ya
