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
O Lord, they have found me

My time is nigh
