Ghost Riders (In the Sky) - Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash

- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- 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 Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky
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 Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky

If UA-cam is redeemable despite its many faults and sins, it's mostly because we can find treasures like this on it.
Well put!!
You [CENSORED] nailed it, @normandduern2413!
@JohnMoris-wb4vc Likewise.
@JohnMoris-wb4vc The USA.
@JohnMoris-wb4vc I live in VT.
Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson together!! Now they are true American idols !! Must have been one heck of a concert!!!
@Willie Nelson 🔵 I'll make you a deal! You keep on singing and performing and I will keep on listening and enjoying!
Your Fan for Life! Tom M.
They performed together with Waylon Jennings and Chris Kristofferson, in a group they called “The Highwaymen”. Epic.
@@thomasmelton699How can I say this gently. Willie’s voice isn’t what it used to be. Smoking like he did has had an effect.
Johnny Cash on the other hand still has that magic voice.
I was 7 yo with my dad when I first heard this beautiful song. And fell in love with it. From Belgrade, Serbia
It’s country western. And yes it’s telling a story of the west. More country than what passes for country today in my opinion.
We are in a time machine here. Some comments are 7 years old, some are a week or two. But they are all present.
True art has no age.
HowdoWEKnowIfITisLying???
Time and tide.
And your comment is already 3 years old for me, now I remind you to your comment of 3 years ago. Maybe someone else will remind me in 3 years.
I played this and “Highwayman” to my 8-14 nephews a week ago. They had never heard of Willie or Johnny. Now all I hear is Cash and Nelson songs on their devices.
That’s fantastic! 😁
Good job brother
Watch out for Ghost Riders on the Sky.
❤ This one.
Einer meiner Meinun5nach neben Truble Man die geilsten Songs, welche die Menscheit bŕaaucht.
I played this song at my dad's recent funeral. He was a great cowboy and I will miss him forever. Reunited with mum who called for you. Have fun cowboy. Love your son Glenn
Westerns
Hey may God bless your Dad and mum and may them always be happy, free and roaming the country!
Who is from Texas I am
Also I will always remember this song because my father loves the song
God bless your Dad and Mom and all your family and l9ve ones.
Two unforgettable legends. There is nothing better than this. Always nice to hear.
Really that's the magic of Jonny.. together with his best duo voice Willi ❤❤
You got that right
@ R.I,P Johnny😪😪😔🖤💔💔
they perfect voices for this ol cowboy song.
The very best rendition of this song ever.
Got that right
Cash was a rare talent, and that's an understatement. He garnered respect not only from fellow country music artists, but from artists of every genre. He was the real deal, and he didn't change his music to fit the times... yet it always fit. Now... you can say the same thing about Willie, but I'm not gonna write it twice!
Bob Dylan said that John was like the North star you could sail your ship by him
Yep Mr Smith totally agree with you. 🤘
@Cleric Jonathan Pop Naff Love
Ok
And he could sing anything!
Umm he was originally trying to produce a Christian sound. He did change for the times.
Jonny Cash and Willie Nelson are true legends! We miss you Jonny Cash!
Hello Deborah
Ich liebe euch
Playing at a prison in the sky and entertaining the inmates, with June waiting in the wings...
I fear we may lose Willie soon. Hope I am very WRONG
@@debbieveasey4224 never speak it out loud!
I also came here as my dad recently passed this weekend, and he watched westerns all day everyday and loved his country music. Miss my dad and best friend. 5/25/2024.
Hey kid , your fad is with you now...yes he is 😮
Monique...If he shared his love of music with you, he was a good man. I wish you good memories, acceptance, and peace. MM
As long as you keep your father’s memory alive then he will actually never really be gone !! May you find peace in your heart so that you can live in tranquility !
Piango con tè
THEY SING AND PLAY SO WELL TOGETHER-GREAT PITY IT'S OVER-BUT THEY CAN STILL BE HEARD!!
Willie is stillsinging
Two legends. Doesn't get any better than that.

True dat
"Hi, I'm Willie Nelson!"
At 84 , Still loving those guys !!!times have passed , now we have lady Gaga !!!not bad mind you !!!God bless from France !!!
This was a popular song on the radio when I was a kid. We were living in Nebraska without electricity or running water at the time and I was allowed a couple of hours each day to listen to an old, battery-powered radio and I always hoped they'd play this song.
Stay after it, pops.
Two of my favorite singers and one of my favorite songs. Perfect combo!
Well Done Friend's
This is pure entertainment, nothing can touch it.
I have been listening to Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson when I was 18 until now, I can bet Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson remain the best ever.
How are you doing??
I'm an Aussie and this song always gives me goosebumps
Me too. There's something about this masterpiece. The images it conjures up...
Another Aussie here full of GOOSEBUMPS & CHILLS 🎧🎸🔊 🤘
I had this song on a sheet of music some years ago and it was written by Sam Jones. I’ve always loved it. Haunting to say the least.
I do not know about australia but in the usa it is much better to get goosebumps than chickenpox!!❤😂
Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash! Two legends!
Hello Ana

A city boy all my life. Yet I still loved this song. Have it on mp3.
2 of the best. I could listen to Johnny and Willie all day. This is what real talent sounds like.
Making me think of my Dad up there somewhere riding in the sky, he loved both these guys just as much as I do xx
Hello
Hello julia
So true
It’s seems you are a very good country lover how are you doing Julia
I have been listening to Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson when I was 18 until now, I can bet Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson remain the best ever.
How are you doing??
Two of the greatest ever.
THEY BOTH HAVE TOUCHED OUR 🧡🧡
I am lady with a passion for classical music, but great music is great, no matter what kind. This is for me to say how much I love listening these two cowboys singing💕
Hello severina
So true
Music becomes a classic not because of it's genre, but because of it's relevance to future generations.
It’s seems you are a very good music lover. How are you doing Suriel
Hello beautiful, I was on my scrolling mode soI saw your profile and wanted to say hi, I hope you don't mind?
What words can you possibly say? Legends never see the like of these two ever again x
2 of the greatest country story tellers. There talent will resonate for ever.
ditto.!!... awesome
Unfortunately their names me an nothing to the fellows 90+
Brilliant the best
Don't forget Chris Christopherson
@@danielkaiser8343 And Waylon Jennings, love The Highwaymen's version of this song the best!
So nice to see you Mr. Cash and Mr. Nelson. You sing extra good nice team Thank You Both. Will remember this tune always.
Willie is the last of a dying breed god bless Willie Nelson and his music will live on forever
we'll still have kristofferson hopefully
Willie's son, Lukas sounds so much like him, it's spooky.
Hey y’all, Willie is still very much alive
There are still good musicians. They are just mostly obscure. These guys benefited from the Folk Revival back in the 1960s. No-one wants folk music today, but that doesn't mean there aren't many very excellent, unheard of bands doing wonderful stuff.
Don't start throwing dirt on his coffin just yet.
this is just very calming and soothing to listen to. omg, johnny and willie together are a force to be reckoned with. love it.
❤
Each presentation it’s unique! Two golden musical world legendary singers.👏👏👏
Genial die zwei sind einfach die besten danke für eure Musik
So wonderful I hope my son will play this at my funeral
Winderful, The Best, congratulations, Go Willie Nelson, Go Johnny Cash
I haven't heard this song in a long time! they were great together in this song.fantastic! you go cowboys!

I have been listening to Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson when I was 18 until now, I can bet Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson remain the best ever.
How are you doing??
TWO GREAT PERFORMERS WHOSE TALENTS REMAIN SUPREME AND WILL NEVER BE SURPASSED!
Sorry for your loss You’re dad may rest in peace you sure picked two of the best country songs writers i always loved country music and was born over seas in Syria
Love it. Willie and his guitar are great but no one can match Johnny Cash's vocal. Especially with songs like this one.
Willie Nelson's voice and guitar skills are sublime with a certain sadness - I am a fan from east Africa
I just can't get enough of Willie and Johnny doing this together. Between their vocals and that awesome guitar, it's mesmerizing.......... Love 'em both.
I don't know - - I sure liked them as part of The Highwaymen!
@@LEO1WOLF
I'm with you...... It's often said nowadays BUT they just don't make 'em like these 'ol boys anymore. We are fortunate to have been able to enjoy them in person. I saw Willie a couple of years ago in concert and he still put on a great show.
@@notsosilentmajority1 - - Well, there is something to be said for good taste like yours! Cheers to you from Aurora, CO!
@@LEO1WOLF
Hey, here's to us all 🍻
Best wishes !!
Just remember your Dad will always be with you God bless you
The two incomparable s, Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson singing a fabulous old cowboy song.
Rey Salinas
There are No words for these guys👍👍👍there music lives on👍👍👍
Thanks for this🎉❤such a great collaboration on this song!!!
Still a great song sung by two of the best country western singers!!!
Their talent is obvious and unmistakable, their friendship and respect for one another palpable. A gift to us all.
I boo-Booed, I thought Ghost Riders was written in 1946, turns out it was finished in 1948. Recording of turned out in 1949. Burl Ives did one in 1949. Short while before I was born. To this song is one of the best ever written. I was so interged about Stan Jones, I went on Amazon, got a book about him, very interesting man. Got a CD of over 30 Artist singing Ghost Riders in The Sky. Even Tom Jones sang this song on a 1960s Country Album, he did. Song has got a great history. Done by so many, over 100, great singers. 👍This is based on a 1920s Legend by a man Capp Watts, in southern Arizona, near Mexico Border..Stan Jones was a boy when Capp Watts told him the Ghost Riders. Capp Watts died in 1932. When Stan Jones was 18 riding in Sulphur Springs Valley, Big Thunderstorm and Stan Jones visualized these Ghost Riders chasing these Red Eyed Cows in the Clouds. In 1946 Stan Jones started Writing Ghost Riders in the Sky finished it in 1948. On his sheet music he Wrote Riders in the Sky (A Cowboy Legend). The Legend of Ghost Riders started in Texas in 1889, based, on a factial Legend. There are 2 Utube Videos, about what happened in 1889, one i read today. A very tragic story. But what Legends, are made of. 😢😊🐎🐂🐴🤗🥰💕❤💕
Awesome 👏
They have a soulful voice!
This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Willie & Johnny
IT'S A TREAT TO SEE AND HERE THIS VERY SPECIAL DUO!THEY WERE VERY VERY UNIQUE AND INCOMPARABLE!!!!!
Un beau moment ! Deux talents !
EVER SINCE I WAS YOUNG AND MY BROTHER PLAYED THE HIGHWAY MEN I WILL NEVER LOOSE MY RESPECT FOR THEM JOHNNY CASH WILLIE NELSON AND WAYLON JENNINGS WERE MY 3 FAVOURITES FROM THE BAND
These two had more influence on my musical life than any others. They will always be my MUSICAL HEROS!!!
I have been listening to Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson when I was 18 until now, I can bet Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson remain the best ever.
How are you doing??
@@GeorgeUnderwood-wo2ccI first heard Willie on the radio in 1966 and was instantly attracted to his style and unique voice. Johnny Cash was already one of my favorite artists. I’ve been playing their music all my life.
@@randytausch3519 sounds good I love Willie songs too Josh Groban is my favorite singer
@@randytausch3519 It seems you are pretty much a music lover?
Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash bring that special tone with this song. I also like the Outlaws but it's hard to beat this one.
No argument there partner
Pure magic
THE OUTLAWS...!!!!
Gene Klinuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Were did they all go
I had the pleasure of meeting Johnny Cash & his sweet wife June back some 29yrs ago in Pendleton, Or. What a pleasant couple they were & I feel very blessed to have shaken their hands! God Bless them both as they rest now, in peace!
These two are so damn casual. Just like they were on a couch at home, playing for fun. FANTASTIC!!!
Having seen these two gentlemen perform on stage ... Amazing Thank you Willie Nelson....Also Jonny Cash".His light departed for now cheers..🙏
Das Lied drückt mega Freiheit und ein hartes Leben aber die Leute haben es geliebt😊 und das mache ich auch .Der Song ist mega ❤So schade daß es dieses Leben nicht mehr gibt.DIE WEITE FREIHEIT.❤❤
I saw Johnny and June twice in concert and Willie once, too.... loved each concert... Stage went dark as Johnny came out... The spotlight came on the man in black and he said, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash" and started singing...no intermission... a 2 hr. concert.
Man you are so lucky.
Hello Patty 👋👋 How are you doing and how's the weather over there ?
I can't express to anyone how much I miss these guys. I'm an unlikely country/western enthusiast, as I made my living in the grand opera (not to be confused with the Grand Ole Opry!), but I've been a country music lover since I was a young guy. Heck, I wanted to BE Johnny Cash. I have all of his albums in old-fashioned record format. Thanks for the video!
This is a song that takes me back to memories, not only the singers but of times with grandparents and so many that looked up to when younger.
God Bless Everyone in Jesus Christ name!! God Bless you both two of the most AWESOME singer's ever Born!! Love you both Forever & Ever
I have been listening to Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson when I was 18 until now, I can bet Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson remain the best ever.
How are you doing??
Love the way these two gentlemen harmonize
The two country music giants...Rip Johnny Cash...Legends with no competition...
Johnny cash and Willie Nelson,what a great combination,and a great song ,Rip Johnny cash ,thank you to my dad who bought me up on his music!
Two of the greatest artists of all time
I'll leave my comment here so someone likes the notification and reminds me to listen to this song again.I've always loved them and their voices. I love this song .....from Fort Worth, Texas
Beautiful , yippia , yippio ....
Man, this song gives me chills.
Johnny and Willie together on it? You can't have two more credible men telling this story.
We sure miss you Johnny.
Willie is such a great guitar player. Those runs and solos he plays on this song are simply brilliant.
YES INDEED
BRILLIANT NICE DUO
+Linda Chaperon jyretnjkkjv
so true indeed
He is VERY underrated
MY FAVOURITE DUET, THIS IS WHAT REAL COUNTRY MUSIC SOUNDS LIKE🚶🚶🎸🎸🧡🧡
I have been listening to Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson when I was 18 until now, I can bet Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson remain the best ever.
How are you doing??
Been done, many times ... this duet with Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson is one of the best ...
Truely a golden classic, man I love it.
A man named Stan Jones wrote this classic in 1949. Damn! did he spin gold or what! lyrically speaking. Hard to find a tune with truly great and memorable lyrics like Ghost Riders these days.
Awesome 👍
Old boy cowboy.. Yep. There is and more.. Cowboy songs.
Dang Gone IT! Man. THat's Straight up! RIght Arm, Zubada Ku LU Sheet
Two of the best Country/Folk Musicians the world has ever known...
He will be missed but never forgotten, may you rest in peace Jonny
Amen brother
This comes from the time in history with a little thing called TALENT
I agree it doesn´t get any better than this. What a pleasure to listen to really good music
This isn’t country. This isn’t folk. This is just storytelling.
Old time Cowboy Music. ❤❤
Transcends all forms and boundaries
Imagine what it would have been like to know Johnny Cash, absolute chills
God damn… their collective brilliance overwhelms me… Cheers to John and Willie. Forever.
Can you tell me what is the best single por disc oficina Jonny Cash?
GO TO HELL FOR DAMNING OUR ETERNAL GOD YOU POS
Simply great
Got goose bumps allover
Great version!
I have been listening to Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson when I was 18 until now, I can bet Johnny Cash AND Willie Nelson remain the best ever.
How are you doing??
Gives me chills each time I play it Willie and johnny were un a class by them selves
Amazing! Johnny Cash and Willy Nelson... The best 👍👍👌👌👏👏
Holy corn!!! I don't know how I stumbled on this song but it is just as good if not better then when Johnny sings it alone. I can't stop listening to it!
Willie, Johnny, Merle, Hank, Patsy.....the greatest...Willie and Johnny are legends
Hi Kathy
Loved it as a boy, still gives me chills today...
Same here.
Ronald,Gerald greenwood
Isuse,zar si mi dao srecu da zivim u vremenu ovih legendi...Blazen sam!❤❤😊
a delight for so many years.....an American treasure , for sure....both of them and a few of their cohorts...
One of my Favorite versons was done by The Highwaymen in Nassau Coliseum in New York in 1990. Yes, Willie, Waylon, Cash and Kris K. I sent for the Dvd, Amazon of Course, The American Outlaws, The Highwaymen, 1990 Nassau Coliseum Live Concert. They had a Band Member Reggie Young? He's gone now, like Waylon and Cash 😢. But his Guitar Solo of Part of Ghost Riders Song was Fantastic! Boy I miss the 1970s 1980s 1990s , great times, Great Music!! 😢😢😮😮💔💔💔💕💗💕😊🥰🎶🎵🎶
Even with Willie goofing up the lyrics it still sounds gorgeous. I love it.
Mother of God this two guys uffff they are awesome thanks God we stil have Willie with us.
Thank you for this great memory. You don't hear this art and talent anymore. The guitar is spectacular and can't be beat.
Man I'm pretty damn sure this song was written well before I was even born in 1983 but how timeless and masterful this piece is , nobody can ever replace Willie or Johnny, two of old school country's best country story tellers/performers to ever life. This song gives me chills and makes my hair stand up when I listen to it, there aren't many songs I sing the lyrics along to but this is definately one of them.
Eric Drisgula the song is at least 20 years older than you.
I've got a 78 rpm version from the early 1950s .by Vaughn Meador .... (That is a type of record, you know, that vinyl disc you spin on a phonograph at 78 rpm.).lol.
I listened to this in the 50's on the radio, it had such an impact and still does. What a story !
