An old cowpoke 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'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o Ghost herd in the sky Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths 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 Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o 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 them yet They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky On horses snortin' flame an' fire, as they ride on, hear them cry Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-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' ridin' on our range" "Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride" "A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies." Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky |

All day I've faced the barren waste,
Without the taste of water: Cool water. (Water.) Old Dan and I, with throats burned dry, An' souls that cry for water: (Water.) Cool, (Water.) Clear, (Water.) Water. (Water.)Keep a-movin, Dan, Don't you listen to him, Dan, He's the devil, not a man: Spreads the burning sand with water. (Water.) Dan, can you see that big, green tree, (Water.) Where the water's runnin' free? (Water.) It's waitin' there for me and you? (Water.)The nights are cool, I'm a fool. Each star's a pool of water. Cool water. (Water.) But with the dawn I'll wake and yawn, And carry on to water. (Water.) Water, (Water.) Water, (Water.) Water, (Water.)Keep a-movin, Dan, Don't you listen to him, Dan, He's the devil, not a man: Spreads the burning sand with water. (Water.) Dan, can you see that big, green tree, (Water.) Where the water's runnin' free? (Water.) Waitin' there for me and you?Cool, (Water.) Clear, (Water.) Water. (Water.)Cool, (Water.) Clear, (Water.) Water. (Cool, clear, water.) |

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of ninety-two
With George Pratt his partner and brother Billy too They crossed the Yukon river and they found the bonanza gold Below that old white mountain Just a little south-east of Nome Sam crossed the Majestic mountains to the valleys far below He talked to his team of huskies As he mushed on through the snow With the northen lights a-runnin' wild In the land of the midnight sun Yes Sam McCord was a mighty man In the year of nineteen-one Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin' North to Alaska go north the rush is on North to Alaska go north the rush is on George turns to Sam with his gold in his hand Said Sam you're lookin' at a lonely lonely man I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Jenny's hand 'Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time Remember Sam a true love is so hard to find I'd build for my Jenny a honeymoon home Below that old white mountain Just a little south-east of Nome Where the river is windin' big nuggets they're findin' North to Alaska go north the rush is on North to Alaska go north the rush is on |

Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above
Don't fence me in Let me ride through that wide open country that I love Don't fence me in. Let me be by myself in the evenin? breeze An' listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please Don?t fence me in Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses And I can't look at harbours and I can't stand fences Don?t fence me in (Oh, give me land, lots of land, under starry skies above,) (Don?t fence me in.) (Let me ride through that wide open country that I love:) (Don?t fence me in.) Let me be by myself in the evening breeze An' listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees Send me off forever but I ask you please Don?t fence me in Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle Underneath the western skies On my cayuse, let me wander over yonder Till I see the mountains rise I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences An' gaze at the moon till I lose my senses An' I can't look at harbours and I can?t stand fences So don?t fence me in, oh no Now brother, don?t you fence me in |

My heart knows what the wild goose knows
And I must go where the wild goose goes Wild goose, brother goose, which is best? A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest? Tonight I heard the wild goose cry Wingin' north in the lonely sky I tried to sleep, but it wasn't no use 'Cause I am a brother to the old wild goose My heart knows what the wild goose knows And I must go where the wild goose goes Wild goose, brother goose, which is best? A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest? Woman was kind and true to me She thinks she loves me, the more fool she She's gotta learn that it ain't no use To love the brother of the old wild goose My heart knows what the wild goose knows And I must go where the wild goose goes Wild goose, brother goose, which is best? A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest? Oh, you wild goose The cabin is warm and the snow is deep And I've got a woman who lies asleep When she wakes at tomorrow's dawn She'll find, poor critter, that her man is gone My heart knows what the wild goose knows And I must go where the wild goose goes Wild goose, brother goose, which is best? A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest? Let me fly, let me fly, let me fly away Spring is comin' and the ice will break And I can't linger for a woman's sake She'll see a shadow pass overhead She'll find a feather besides my bed My heart knows what the wild goose knows And I must go where the wild goose goes Wild goose, brother goose, which is best? A wanderin' fool or a heart at rest? Wild goose, brother goose Wild goose, brother goose Wild goose, brother goose Wild goose, brother goose Wild goose, brother goose Wild goose, brother goose |

Till I became a wanted man,
I never owned a gun, But now they hunt me like a mountain cat, And I'm always, always, always on the run I killed poor Jed Bryant In a bad Laredo fight, Killed him with my bare hands For the girl I loved that night. Jed's brother's out to get me, He's comin' with a gang I'd rather shoot it out, by God, than let 'em see me hang Bullet in my shoulder, Blood runnin' down my vest, Twenty in the posse, And they're never gonna let me rest. Till I became a wanted man, I never owned a gun, But now they hunt me like a mountain cat, And I'm always, always, always on the run Spangles on her red dress Laughter in her voice, When he tried to put his hands on her My heart left me no choice. But was she really worth it? I guess I'll never know, She'll be drinkin' someone else's rye when I'm six feet below. Bullet in my shoulder, Blood runnin' down my vest, Twenty in the posse, And they're never gonna let me rest. Till I became a wanted man, I never owned a gun, But now they hunt me like a mountain cat, And I'm always, always, always on the run. |

Mule train: clippetty-clopping along the mountain chain. Seems as though they're gonna recah the top. Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty, c lippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along. There's some cotton thread and needle for the folks away out yonder. A shovel for a miner who left his home to wander. Some rheumatism pills for the settlers in the hills. Get along mule, get along. Mule train, yeah, yeah. Mule train: clippetty-clopping through the wind and rain. They'll keep going till they drop. Clippetty-clop, clippetty-clop, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty, clippetty-clopping along. There's a letter full of sadness and it's black around the border. A pair of boots for someone who had them made to order. A Bible in the pack for the Reverend Mr Black. Get along mule, get along. Get along mule, get along. (Mule train.) Get along, get along. |

Every day, along about evening
When the sunlight's beginning to pale I ride through the slumbering shadows Along the Navajo Trail When it's night and crickets are callin' And coyotes are makin' a wail I dream by a smoldering fire Along the Navajo Trail I love to lie and listen to the music When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' It always finds me wishin' on a star Well what a ya know, it's mornin' already There's the dawnin', so silver and pale It's time to climb into my saddle And ride the Navajo Trail I love to lie and listen to the music When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' It always finds me wishin' on a star Well what a ya know, it's mornin' already There's the dawnin', so silver and pale (like a silvery veil) It's time to climb into my saddle And ride the Navajo Trail Ride the Navajo Trail Ride the Navajo Trail |

See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground Lonely but free I'll be found Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds Cares of the past are behind Nowhere to go but I'll find Just where the trail will wind Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds I know when night has gone That a new world's born at dawn I'll keep rolling along Deep in my heart is a song Here on the range I belong Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds Drifting, on and on Moving, on and on Wandering, on and on |
