Disclaimer: I have not becoming independently wealthy and bought Lord of the Rings, so no I don't own it! Nor do I own the song "Ghost Riders in the Sky". I'm not sure who wrote it, but the version I have was sung by Johnny Cash.
Wraith Riders in the Sky
Frodo and Sam are in the Dead Marshes and suddenly realize that the Ringwraiths are on wings. As they fly over head, Sam spontaneously breaks out a guitar and a black cowboy hat and begins singing a strange and eerie song. As he begins to sing, singing prairie dogs and singing scorpions appear from nowhere and harmonize with him.
Three hobbits went riding out one dark and windy day
upon a swamp they rested as they went along their way,
when all at once a mighty steed of Mordor breed they saw
plowin through the ragged skies
and up the cloudy drawl.
----
There wings were still on fire and their teeth were made of steel.
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath they could feel
a bolt of fear went through them as they thundered through the sky,
for they saw the riders comin' hard
and they heard their mounful cry
----
yippie-aye-ooo
yippie-aye-ai
wraith riders in the sky
----
Their faces black their eyes unseen their cloaks all soaked with sweat
they're ridin hard to find that Ring but they ain't found it yet!
'Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
all the fell beasts snortin fire
as they ride on, hear their cry!
----
As the riders looked upon them
Frodo heard one call his name
"If you want to save your soul from hell and our fate so strange
then hobbit turn over the Ring or with us you will ride
tryin to serve the Dark Lord, and fly these endless skies
----
yippie-aye-ooo
yippie-aye-ai
Wraith riders in the sky
Wraith riders in the sky
Wraith riders in the sky!
