To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day[00:00:06]
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say[00:00:13]
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip[00:00:19]
For the stranger there among 'em had a big iron on his hip[00:00:23]
Big iron on his hip[00:00:28]
It was early in the mornin' when he rode into town[00:00:32]
He came ridin' from the south side slowly lookin' all around[00:00:37]
"He's an outlaw loose and runnin'" came a whisper from each lip[00:00:45]
"He's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip[00:00:49]
Big iron on his hip"[00:00:53]
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red[00:00:58]
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead[00:01:04]
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty-four[00:01:10]
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more[00:01:14]
One and nineteen more[00:01:19]
Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around[00:01:24]
Was an Arizonia ranger wouldn't be too long in town[00:01:30]
He came there to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead[00:01:36]
Said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red after Texas Red[00:01:41]
Wasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red[00:01:49]
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead[00:01:55]
Twenty men had tried to take him twenty men had made a slip[00:02:02]
Twenty-one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip[00:02:07]
Big iron on his hip[00:02:12]
The mornin' past so quickly it was time for them to meet[00:02:17]
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street[00:02:22]
Folks were watchin' from their windows every body held their breath[00:02:29]
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death[00:02:33]
About to meet his death[00:02:38]
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play[00:02:42]
And the swiftness of the Ranger is still talked about today[00:02:48]
Texas Red had not cleared leather for a bullet fairly ripped[00:02:55]
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip[00:02:59]
Big iron on his hip[00:03:03]
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered 'round[00:03:08]
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground[00:03:14]
Oh he might have gone on livin' but he made one fatal slip[00:03:21]
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip[00:03:25]
Big iron on his hip[00:03:29]
Big iron big iron[00:03:34]
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip[00:03:38]
Big iron on his hip[00:03:43]
