Johnny Cash Ghost Riders In The Sky 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 yaaaay
Yippie yi ohhhhh

Ghost Riders in the sky
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/johnny_cash/ghost_riders_in_the_sky.html ]
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 yaaaay
Yippie yi ohhhhh

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

I believe that johnny was the best artist ever. The music that he came up with is untouched by others and it shal remain that way.

The cowboy was riding along and he came to a bluff which caused him to pause and reflect on his past life which in his mind may not have been the best. Looking up at the clouds he started imagining images ( as we all do, at times) in the clouds and the lyrics tell the rest of the story. Deefer

I just learned that this song is about thunderstorms over the chiricahua mountains. That's where my late father cowboy'd as a youngster and where his ashes are scattered. Co-inky-dink.

I grew up listening to the sons of the pioneers and all those great 'cowboys' and never get tired of the wonderful oldies

This song is obviously about an older cowboy minding his own business, doing what he always did when he was still in the "game"- riding alone on the range. Some very angry cow ghosts came by being chased by some very angry cowboy ghosts who were deceased, but still very much in the "game. " the coyboy ghosts were warning the older cowboy to get out of the "game" while he still has the time or wind up chasing something that was unattainable.
