[Verse 1]
CTo the town of Agua Fria
Rode a Amstranger one fine day
Hardly Cspoke to folks around him
Didn't have too much to Amsay
No one Fdared to ask his business
No one Cdared to make a slip
TChe stranger there among them
Had a Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
[Verse 2]
CIt was early in the mornin
When he Amrode into the town
He came Criding from the south side
Slowly Amlooking all around
"He's an Foutlaw loose and running"
Came the Cwhisper from each lip
"ACnd he's here to do some business
With the Ambig iron on his hip"
FBig iron on his Chip
[Verse 3]
ICn this town there lived an outlaw
By the Amname of Texas Red
CMany men had tried to take him
And that many men were dAmead
He was Fvicious and a killer
Though a Cyouth of twenty-four
ACnd the notches on his pistol
Numbered Amone and nineteen more
FOne and nineteen Cmore
[Verse 4]
NCow the stranger started talking
Made it Amplain to folks around
WCas an Arizona Ranger
Wouldn't be too long in Amtown
He came Fhere to take an outlaw
BCack alive, or maybe dead
CAnd he said it didn't matter
He was Amafter Texas Red
FAfter Texas RedC
[Verse 5]
CWasn't long before the story
Was Amrelayed to Texas Red
CBut the outlaw didn't worry
Men that tried before were Amdead
Twenty Fmen had tried to take him
CTwenty men had made a slip
TCwenty-one would be the Ranger
With the Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
[Verse 6]
TChe morning passed so quickly
It was Amtime for them to meet
ItC was twenty past eleven
When they walked out in the Amstreet
Folks were Fwatching from the windows
EveryCbody held their breath
TChey knew this handsome Ranger
Was Amabout to meet his death
F'Bout to meet his deatCh
[Verse 7]
TChere was forty feet between them
When they Amstopped to make their play
ACnd the swiftness of the Ranger
Is still talked about tAmoday
Texas FRed had not cleared leather
'FoCre a bullet fairly ripped
And Cthe Ranger's aim was deadly
With the Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
[Verse 8]
ICt was over in a moment
And the Amfolks had gathered round
TChere before them lay the body
Of the outlaw on the Amground
Oh, he Fmight have went on livin'
But he Cmade one fatal slip
WheCn he tried to match the Ranger
With the Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
[Outro]
BFig iron, big iCron
CWhen he tried to match the Ranger
With the Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
[Outro]
