[Intro]
Am
E Am
[Verse 1]
To the tCown of Agua Fria rode a Amstranger one fine day
Hardly sCpoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to sAmay
No one dFared to ask his business, no one dCared to make a slip
for the stranger there amongst them had a bAmig iron on his hip
BFig iron on his hCip
[Verse 2]
It was eCarly in the morning when he Amrode into the town
He came rCidin' from the south side slowly lookin' all aAmround
He's an oFutlaw loose and runnin' came the wChisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the bAmig iron on his hip
bFig iron on his hCip
[Verse 3]
In this tCown there lived an outlaw by the Amname of Texas Red
Many mCen had tried to take him and that many men were dAmead
He was vFicious and a killer though a yCouth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol numbered oAmne and nineteen more
OFne and nineteen mCore
[Verse 4]
Now the sCtranger started talking, made it Amplain to folks around
Was an ACrizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in tAmown
He came hFere to take an outlaw back aClive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter, he was aAmfter Texas Red
AFfter Texas RCed
[Verse 5]
Wasn't loCng before the story was reAmlayed to Texas Red
But the oCutlaw didn't worry, men that tried before were dAmead
Twenty mFen had tried to take him, twenty mCen had made a slip
Twenty one would be the ranger with the bAmig iron on his hip
BFig iron on his hCip
[Verse 6]
The mCorning passed so quickly, it was Amtime for them to meet
It was tCwenty past eleven when they walked out in the sAmtreet
Folks were wFatching from their windows, everybCody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was aAmbout to meet his death
AFbout to meet his dCeath
[Verse 7]
There was fCorty feet between them when they Amstopped to make their play
And the sCwiftness of the ranger is still talked about todAmay
Texas RFed had not cleared leather 'fore a bCullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the bAmig iron on his hip
BFig iron on his hCip
[Verse 8]
It was oCver in a moment and the Amfolks had gathered round
There bCefore them lay the body of the outlaw on the gAmround
Oh, he mFight have gone on living but he mCade one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the bAmig iron on his hip
BFig iron on his hCip
[Outro]
Big iFron, big Ciron
When he tCried to match the ranger with the bAmig iron on his hip
BFig iron on his hCip
