An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day

[+Dave 2,322]

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

[+Major Lee 18]

Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs were made of steel...

Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel...

[+Dave 2,322]

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

[+Major Lee 18]

yipeee yi yoooo, yippeee yi yaaaaa, ...

ghost riders in the sky....

I guess some people are not getting it. You add no more than four lines and you get as many different people to add a different set of lines possible.

Maybe it's too old of a concept; a song with actual lyrics...

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat.

They're riden' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught it 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...

Jeez. give them a break. Afterall, there's only been, what, like a DOZEN renditions of it over the years?

They fed the horses,and themselves,to toughen for the chase,

The sun was high,and hot that day,but they sped up the pace.

 

and no,I cant recall all the lyrics...lol

Tom Jones' version was, ahem, interesting

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

[Rambler 1-1 9]

Then, Cowboy, change your ways, or one day with us you will ride...
