An old cow poke went rid - ing out one dark and windy day, (echo)
Up on the ridge he rested,
As he went along his way, (echo)
When all at once a mighty heard of redeyed cows he saw,
A ploughin' thru the ragged skies, (echo)
And up a cloudy draw. (echo)
Yi - pi - yi - ay, (echo)
Yi - pi - i - o, (echo)
The ghost riders in,
The sky. (echo)
 
Ending:
Their ghost herd in,
The sky,
