<pre><font size='+2'>RIDERS IN THE SKY lyrics VAUGHN MONROE</font><br>Ghost) Riders In the Sky <br />
 Vaughn Monroe <br />
  <br />
 Peak Billboard position # 1 in 1949 <br />
 Monroe may not have sung it precisely this way  but a recording by him was not <br />
 available so the words and music herein are taken from the sheet music as written <br />
 by Stan Jones <br />
 Monroes` version, as well as competing versions by Peggy Lee (# 2), Bing Crosby <br />
 (#14), and Burl Ives (# 21) were all charted as just `Riders In the Sky` <br />
 Later, The Ramrods took it to # 30 in 1961 with the parenthetical (Ghost) added, <br />
 as did the Baja Marimba Band (#52 in 1966) and The Outlaws (#31 in 1981) <br />
 Lawrence Welk used the original title on his # 87 in 1961. <br />
  <br />
  <br />
 An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day <br />
 Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way <br />
 When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw <br />
 A`plowin` through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw <br />
  <br />
 Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o <br />
 Ghost riders in the sky <br />
  <br />
 Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel <br />
 Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel <br />
 A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky <br />
 For he saw the riders comin` hard and he heard their mournful cry <br />
  <br />
 Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o <br />
 Ghost riders in the sky <br />
  <br />
 Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat <br />
 They`re ridin` hard to catch that herd but they ain`t caught them yet <br />
 They`ve got to ride forever in that range up in the sky <br />
 On horses snortin` fire, as they ride on, hear their cry <br />
  <br />
 Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o <br />
 Ghost riders in the sky <br />
  <br />
 As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name <br />
 `If you want to save your soul from hell a` ridin` on our range` <br />
 `Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride` <br />
 `A-tryin` to catch the Devil`s herd across these endless skies.` <br />
  <br />
 Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o <br />
 Ghost riders in the sky <br />

Ghost) Riders In the Sky
Vaughn Monroe

Peak Billboard position # 1 in 1949
Monroe may not have sung it precisely this way but a recording by him was not
available so the words and music herein are taken from the sheet music as written
by Stan Jones
Monroes` version, as well as competing versions by Peggy Lee (# 2), Bing Crosby
(#14), and Burl Ives (# 21) were all charted as just `Riders In the Sky`
Later, The Ramrods took it to # 30 in 1961 with the parenthetical (Ghost) added,

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 riders 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

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
They`re ridin` hard to catch that herd but they ain`t caught them yet
They`ve got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On horses snortin` fire, as they ride on, hear their cry

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

`If you want to save your soul from hell 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
