Ghost Riders In The Sky by Johnny Cash

An old cowboy went ridin' out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went (1)__________ 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
Their brands were still on (2)________ and their hooves (3)________ made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear (4)________ through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders commin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie-yi-ohhh, yippie-ya-yaaay
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes (5)________ blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride (6)______________ on that (7)__________ up in the sky
On horses snorting fire, as (8)________ ride on hear their cry

As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
If you (9)________ 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

Yippie-ya-ohhh (yippie-ya-ohhh), yippie-ya-yaaay (yippie-ya-yaaay)
