The Coral - Ghost Riders in the Sky

The Coral - Ghost Riders in the Sky (b-side from the Who's Gonna Find Me 7" vinyl single).

Lyrics:

An old cowboy 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 sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black 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 coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he 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

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay

Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky

Them lads is good.

An interesting mixture of new an old, a genre which usually produce more duds than goods. This was an exception though, because the vocal sounded pleasant and sincere, (and to my old ear) charming.

[J0YxDIVISIONx]

easily the best cover of this song

@Rambo29 that'll be Bill Ryder-Jones. Not part of the band anymore unfortunately but their new album, Butterfly House, will still be great from what i've already heard.
