    C Am
    To the town of Aqua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
  • C Am
    Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
    F C
  • No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
    C Am
    For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
  • F C
    Big iron on his hip
     
  • It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
    He came riding from the south side slowly looking all around
    He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
  • And 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
    Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
    He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
  • And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
    One and nineteen more
     
  • Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
    He was an Arizona Ranger wouldn't be too long in town
    He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
  • And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
    After Texas Red
     
  • The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
    It was twenty past eleven when they walked out on the street
    Folks were watching from their windows everybody held their breath
  • They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
    Was about to meet his death
     
  • There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
    And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
    Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
  • And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
    The Big iron on his hip
    F C
