"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 ooh
Yippie yi yay
Ghost riders in the sky"
