This song has been covered so many times, it's difficult to keep track. The most notable versions are by Johnny Cash and, from the movie Ghost Rider, Australian band Spiderbait.
This song has been recorded tens of times through the years by many artists. The story never changes. The lyrics are often compared to the Norse myth of the Wild Hunt.
The singer is witness to a ghostly round-up. The cattle have hooves of steel and breathe fire. The cowboys are malevolent and warn the singer that if he doesn't change his ways, he'll be riding with them for eternity, herding the Devil's cattle.
