Riders in the Sky Songtext

von Dean Martin

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Song "Riders in the Sky" von Dean Martin erzählt die Geschichte eines alten Cowboys, der auf seinem Weg einem unheim...

An old cow poke 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-plowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Yippee-i-ay yippee-i-o
The ghost herd in the sky

As the riders looped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on the range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
A-trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies

Yippee-i-a yippee-i-o
The ghost herd in the sky
The ghost herd in the sky
Yippee-i-o
The ghost riders in the sky
