Riders in the Sky - Burl Ives (伯尔·艾夫斯)
An old cowpoke 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 red eyed steers he saw
Plowin' through the ragged skies
And up a cloudy draw
Yipie i ay yipie i ay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their brands were still on fire
And their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were bright 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
Yipie i ay yipie i ay
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' 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 snorting fire
As they ride on hear their cry
Yipie i ay yipie i ay
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 ridin' on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies"
Yipie i ay yipie i ay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
