Ghost Riders In The Sky
(Please

Two babies they went sledding out
one dark and snowy day
Upon a ridge they rested before
they got underway.
When all at once a mighty head
of wide-eyed fright they saw
A-plowing through the ragged snow
and up the cloudy draw
~

Their sleds were built of fire
and their runners made of steel
His coffin was black and red and
without a steering wheel
A bolt of fear went through them
as he thundered through the sky
For they saw Mel-O coming hard
and they heard his mournful cry
~
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky
~
His face was gaunt, his eyes were
frost, his shirt all soaked with snow
He's riding hard to catch their
lead, and he ain't goin' slow
'Cause they've got to ride forever
on that slope up in the sky
On sleds a-snorting fire
As they ride on hear their cry
~
As skeletons roared down the slope
heard them call out a name
If you want to save your soul from
Hell a-riding on the range
Then Mel-O change your sled today
and with us you will ride
Trying to catch the Angels' wings,
across these endless skies
~
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
