Ballad of a Small Man - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]

Written by：Marty Robbins[00:00:01]

He was a small man but this man was all man[00:00:08]

He was accustomed to danger[00:00:11]

He knew the badlands he knew every bad man[00:00:15]

This man was a ranger[00:00:19]

Into the township of pecos he rode[00:00:23]

Everyone noticed this stranger[00:00:26]

Plainly it showed in the way that he rode in[00:00:30]

This man was a ranger[00:00:33]

Everyone watched as he climbed from his horse and walked by[00:00:37]

Every eye dropped to the gun hanging low on his side[00:00:45]

The silence was broken the ranger had spoken[00:00:52]

And these were his words[00:00:56]

I've trailed an outlaw for thirty six days[00:01:00]

I'm twenty hours behind him[00:01:04]

He's here in town so I'll just be around[00:01:07]

Long as it takes me to find him[00:01:11]

Slowly he turned and he looked down the street[00:01:17]

Then he looked back to the crowd[00:01:20]

Somethin' about him left no room to doubt[00:01:24]

He spoke very little but loud[00:01:27]

If it is pity you have for my size[00:01:32]

Save it don't waste it my friend[00:01:35]

This equalizer I have on my hip[00:01:39]

Makes me as big as the next man[00:01:43]

Then from a door came a curse and they knew at a glance[00:01:47]

The outlaw had stepped to the street to begin his advance[00:01:54]

Women grabbed children men grabbed their wives[00:02:02]

And they ran from the street[00:02:05]

Even the soft gentle breeze became still[00:02:09]

Death had a minute to wait[00:02:13]

Two hands would dive for a colt forty five[00:02:17]

One hand would come up too late[00:02:20]

Go for your gun was the outlaw's remark[00:02:26]

Tomorrow you'll sleep neath the stone[00:02:30]

The ranger replied there'll be plenty of time[00:02:33]

After you go for your own[00:02:38]

All of a sudden it happened[00:02:41]

Both of then grabbed for a gun[00:02:45]

Both clearing leather both fired together[00:02:49]

Everyone thought it was one gun[00:02:53]

A forty five slug hit the outlaw and spun him around[00:02:56]

His life was over he died on his way to the ground[00:03:04]

To our surprise we watched as the ranger[00:03:11]

Took one faltering step[00:03:15]

Slowly he crumbled and fell to the ground[00:03:19]

A bullet was deep in his side[00:03:23]

He looked all around but he spoke not a word[00:03:26]

A faint little smile and he died[00:03:30]

He was a small man but this man was all man[00:03:36]

He was accustomed to danger[00:03:40]

He knew the badlands he knew every bad man[00:03:43]

This man was a ranger[00:03:47]
