I'm gonna keep that diamond in my mind

For there's hell upon the breeze

There's hell upon the breeze

Six riders ride



They say I must be the devil's child

And the hell upon the breeze

Six riders ride



And all my days I been the losin' kind

And the hell upon the breeze

Love, it ain't mine



Killed my daddy and took his .45

He was no good, though

He was no good

He had to die



Lightning hits the church, the women cry

And the hell upon the breeze

No God in sight



Six riders stand upon the ridge tonight

Oh, Lord, they have found me

My time is nigh
