Thank you my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for sharing the music video of the legendary Johnny Cash performing Stan Jones classic song "Ghost riders in the sky."

(Ghost) Riders in the Sky written by Stan Jones in 1948.
Lyrics
"Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!

An old cowpoke went ridin' 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
Come through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!
Ghost riders in the sky

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath you could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
He saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!
Ghost riders in the sky

Their face is gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat
They're riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on the range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!
Ghost riders in the sky

The riders rode 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 this devil herd across these endless skies."

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky"

The one I like best is the version by the Sons of the Pioneers from their Cool Water album. This is the version with Roy Rogers.

I like Johnny Cash's version of a song recorded by Vaughn Monroe in 1949. I also like the rendition by Marty Robbins.
