Here are the lyrics of the originalAn old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy dayUpon a ridge he rested as he went along his wayWhen all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he sawPlowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy drawTheir brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steelTheir horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feelA bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the skyFor he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful criesYippie I oh oh ohYippie I aye ye yeGhost riders in the skyTheir faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweatHe's riding hard to catch that herd but he ain't caught em yetCause they got to ride forever on that range up in the skyOn horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their criesAs the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name'If you wanna save your soul from hell a-riding on our rangeThen cowboy change your ways today or with us you will rideTrying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skiesYippie I oh oh ohYippie I aye ye yeGhost riders in the skyGhost riders in the skyGhost riders in the sky
Robert Jones will take charge of the 127th Second City derby between Aston Villa and Birmingham City, Blues have confirmed.It will be the first time he’s officiated a Second City derby and the first time he’s overseen a competitive Blues match.Jones has previously taken charge of two Villa matches having been the man in the middle for their defeats to Peterborough United and Bolton Wanderers last term.Jones dished out 132 yellow cards and eight reds in 45 matches last season, including two dismissals in a feisty League One game between Wigan Athletic and Portsmouth which ended 1-1.A big name referee is usually selected to host English football’s most fierce derby clash with Mike Dean stepping down from Premier League duties to take charge in 2016.Jones has never officiated in the Premier League and only made the permanent step up to the Championship during the second half of last season after learning his trade in the lower leagues
