An old cowpoke went ridin' 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.
Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost herd in the sky
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
He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry
Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky.
Their face is gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked
with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet
'cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry
Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky.
The riders leaned on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range
Then cow-boy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch this devil herd.... a-cross these endless
skies.
Yipie i ay Yipie i oh
Ghost riders in the sky.
Ghost riders in the sky.
Ghost riders in the sky.
The Outlaws sono una band di southern rock formatasi a Tampa, in Florida, alla fine del 1967. I membri fondatori erano il chitarrista e cantante Hughie Thomasson, il batterista David Dix, il bassista Phil Humberg, i chitarristi Hobie O'Brien e Frank Guidry, e il cantante Herb Pino. Guidry portò con sé il nome Outlaws quando si unì al gruppo (aveva fatto parte di un'altra band con lo stesso nome). Prima dell'arrivo di Guidry, la band si chiamava The Rogues, poi The Four Letter Words. All'inizio del 1968, O'Brien e Humberg lasciarono il gruppo per sposarsi e Frank O'Keefe entrò al basso. Nella primavera del 1968, il primo manager della band, Paul D., li portò negli Epic Studios di New York City per registrare un album che non fu mai pubblicato dopo una disputa tra la band e il produttore dell'album. Guidry lasciò il gruppo in seguito a divergenze con il manager. Il gruppo tornò a Tampa, poi ottenne un altro contratto per andare agli Criteria Studios di Miami per registrare un altro album con il produttore Phil Gernhard. Anche questo album non fu mai pubblicato e Gernhard scomparve poco dopo. Ronny Elliott entrò nel gruppo intorno a quel periodo per suonare il basso mentre O'Keefe passò brevemente alla chitarra. Ma O'Keefe tornò al basso dopo che Elliott lasciò il gruppo nel 1969 e Herb Pino iniziò a suonare anche la chitarra oltre a cantare. Il batterista Monte Yoho entrò nello stesso anno per sostituire Dix e alla fine assunse definitivamente il posto di batterista. Il gruppo si separò anche dal manager Paul D. Entro il 1971, le offerte di concerti erano diminuite e il gruppo cadde in un limbo per circa un anno, non sicuro se avrebbe continuato. Nel 1972, la band firmò con l'etichetta discografica Arista Records e pubblicò il suo album di debutto omonimo, che divenne un successo commerciale e li consacrò come una delle band più importanti del southern rock.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
