Ghost Riders in Disguise
Created | Updated Feb 25, 2003
To the tune of Ghost Riders in the Sky
<musicalnote>
Old Reb and Zello they rode out one dark and windy day
At Peta Gulch the Posse won and sent them on their way
But they came back in ghostly form to join our little jaunt
And wearing granny's bonnet, the jailhouse they did haunt
<musicalnote>
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in disguise
<musicalnote>
They sidled up to Billy Kid. His gun they tried to steal
But he was just too quick for them when movement he did feel
He took some string, he locked his gun and looked up in the sky
The rest of us got on with things and ignored their mournful cry
<musicalnote>
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in disguise
<musicalnote>
They waited at the crossroads to give us a surprise
While we were in the garden being shot at by three mice
It's hard to be quite certain just what will happen next
But we'll wager everything we've got that they'll be sorely vexed.
<musicalnote>
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in disguise
<musicalnote>
So listen to this song we sing and heed the lesson good
If you don't pay attention as we advise you should
Like Reb and Zello you'll end up as every cowboy dreads
A-tryin' to catch up with the herd across these endless threads
