Burl Ives - Ghost Riders In The Sky
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all
Burl Ives - Will the circle be unbroken ?
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my
Burl Ives - Ben Backstay
Ben Backstay was a boatswain,
A very jolly boy,
No lad than he more merrily
Could pipe all hands ahoy.
And when unto his
snorting fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o
Ghost riders in the sky
As the riders went on by him, he heard one call his
Burl Ives - Come back Paddy Reilly
The Garden of Eden has vanished they say
But I know the lie of it still
Just turn to the left at the bridge
Burl Ives - Froggie went A-courtin
Mister Frog went a-courtin, he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Mister Frog went a-courtin, he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Burl Ives - It came upon the midnight clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch
cows he saw
Come rushin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.
Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky
Their brands were still on fire
through the sky
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt,
their mournful cries
chorus:
yippie i ohhh ohh ohh
yippie i aye ye ye
ghost riders in the sky
their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
their shirts
hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yippie yi ooh
Yippie yi yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts
hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yippie yi ooh
Yippie yi yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts
thundered thru the sky,
For he saw the riders comin' hard
And he heard their mournful cry.
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.
Their
yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders 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
yippee-yi-o,
Ghost riders in the sky.

cows he saw
A ploughin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Ghost riders in the sky.
