No, Mr. Happy, I have not found the version you are looking for.

Any mention of "Ghost Riders in the Sky" parodies reminds me of the Mark Russell Show on television years back. Russell used the "Ghost Riders" tune and theme in order to lampoon Bernard Goetz the New York subway shooter. Will Russell sue us if we recall his lampoon/parody lyrics? Well, I don't remember all of them anyway, just bits and pieces. The first line does rather grab one's attention:

He walked into the subway with his six-gun by his side....

and by the time you reach the end of the verse, it is

Just like Jesse James and Wyatt Earp,
You're in No Man's Land!

cue yippy i o, yippy i ay....you're in Noooooooooo   Maaaaaannnnnnnnn's Laaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnd    HYA! HYA!

.........shameless, that Mark Russell. Not always amusing, either, but THAT parody lingers in the memory.
