To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
C AmHardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
Amfor the stranger there amongst them had a big iron on his hip
F CBig iron on his hip
C Am
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
F CHe's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
AmAnd he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
big iron on his hip
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
C AmMany men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
F CHe was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol numbered one an nineteen more
F COne and nineteen more
C Am
Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
C AmWas an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
AmAnd he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
F CAfter Texas Red
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
C AmBut the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
F CTwenty men had tried to take twenty men had made a slip
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
F CBig iron on his hip
C Am
The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
C AmIt was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from their windows every-body held their breath
AmThey knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
F CAbout to meet his death
C
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their
play
C AmAnd the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day
F CTexas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
And the rangers aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
F CBig iron on his hip
C Am
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
C AmThere before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip
AmWhen he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
F CBig iron on his hip
Big iron Big iron
C AmWhen he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
