ghost rider lyrics dutkin horse. my collection

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

9th Queen's Royal Lancers

Although engaged in combat for the whole of the war the Lancers only operated as a cavalry unit during 1914. This was due to the widespread use of machine guns and shelling and also the advent of the tank. For the remainder of the war they operated as infantry in the trenches.

Notable events included a Victoria Cross for Captain Francis Octavius Grenfell for his actions in saving the guns of 119th Battery, Royal Field Artillery on 24 August 1914 (he was later killed in action on 24 May 1915, as was his twin brother, Riversdale, a yeomanry officer who attached to 9th Lancers), and the regiment's participation in the final "lance on lance" action of the First World War on 7 September 1914 at Moncel in which Lieutenant Colonel David Campbell led a charge of two troops of B Squadron and overthrew a squadron of the 1st Guard Dragoons.

By the end of the war 274 Lancers had died.

Adlestrop station

Yes. I remember Adlestrop— 

The name, because one afternoon
Of heat the express-train drew up there
Unwontedly. It was late June.

• 
  

The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat.
No one left and no one came
On the bare platform, What I saw 
Was Adlestrop—only the name

• 
  

And willows, willow-herb, and grass,
And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry,
No whit less still and lonely fair
Then the high cloudlets in the sky.

• 
  

And for that minute a blackbird sang
Close by, and round him, mistier,
Farther and farther, all the Birds
Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.

The four most important Antarctic explorers were probably Roald Amundsen, Sir Ernest Shackleton, Robert Falcon Scott, and Richard E. Byrd.

In December 1911, the first trip to the South Pole was held. It was held by a Norwegian scientist, Roald Amundsen, who lived from 1872 to 1928. He was the first person to make it back all the way to his home. Other scientists could not make it back, and would die on their way either back to their ship or on their way back to their homes. It was surprising to all the people that he made it back. .

The next explorer, Robert Falcon Scott, and Roald Amundsen were racing to the south pole. Their teams started at different points and got there at different times. The first one to get there was Amundsen, and five weeks later, Scott got there. Scott's team died on there way back to their ship because they were wearing wool instead of heavy down parkas. Amundsen's team wore heavy down parkas and made it back to their homes. It was a very long and difficult journey, and it took them almost two years to do it. They were traveling by foot, on sled, and in their ships for over 2000 miles!

In 1911, a British trip was led by Robert Falcon Scott. He reached the South Pole five weeks after Amundsen. Instead of using regular materials, like down parkas and other Antarctic winter equipment, they used wool. Wool is not a very heavy material. When Scott and his crew were leaving and hiking back to their ship, wearing wool, they stopped for a break about a mile from their ship. It was so cold that they froze to death. Scott was born in 1868 and died in 1912, the year after he came there.

Another very famous explorer was Richard E. Byrd. He lived from 1868 to 1957. He was the first person to accomplish a flight over Antarctica as an American explorer. After he accomplished that goal, he worked as a United States naval officer. There is a part of Antarctica named after his wife, Marie Byrd, though the place is called "Marie Byrd Land."

Probably the most famous explorer of them all is Sir Ernest Shackleton. He was born on February 17, 1874, and died on January 25, 1922, on South Georgia Island. When he went to Antarctica for the first time in 1901-1902 with Robert Falcon Scott (see above), almost no one had gone there before. He made another trip to Antarctica in 1907-1909.

In 1914, he organized a third trip to Antarctica. His ship was called the Endurance. It got stuck in the ice in 1915, which forced Shackleton and his crew to abandon the ship. Finally, he organized three teams to go in the three rowboats. In order to rescue his crew, Shackleton rowed 800 miles to South Georgia Island and got help there. He managed to get every person on his crew back safely to England.
