Ghost Squires in the Sky


Lyrics: Maelcolm Mor            
Music: Ghost Riders in the Sky
            by Riders of the Purple Sage




Chorus:
(Kazoo)
Bwa-bwa-bwa-bwa, bwa-bwa bwa bwaaaa
Ghost Squires in the Sky
Verses:
Well, a knight went riding out one dark and stormy day
At an event he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a battered helmet hit him in his eye
It was the thing he dreaded
Ghost squires in the sky

Their surcotes were on fire, and their swords were made of steel
Their mail was black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For they were coming for him
And he heard their mournful cry

Now this Knight had many squires from a long time ago,
Collected since he won his spurs so many years before
He used and abused them, and hung them out to dry
And now they want revenge,
Ghost squires in the sky.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their tunics bloody red
They had no flesh or horses, these squires they were dead.
They picked up this Knight, and hung him by his heels
Then snatched up his sword,
And clubbed him like a baby seal.
