| To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day | |
| Hardly 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 | |
| The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip | |
| 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 a 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 Arizonia 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 that he was after Texas Red | |
| After Texas Red | |
| Wasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red | |
| But the outlaw didn't worry, men that tried before were dead | |
| Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip | |
| Twenty one would be the Ranger with the big iron on his hip | |
| Big iron on his hip | |
| Now the morning passed so quickly and it was time for them to meet | |
| It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street | |
| Folks were watching from their windows, everybody held their breath | |
| They knew this handsome Ranger was about to meet his death | |
| About to meet his death | |
| There was twenty 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 | |
| Big iron on his hip | |
| It was over in a moment and the crowd all gathered 'round | |
| There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground | |
| Oh, he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip | |
| When he tried to match the Ranger with the big iron on his hip | |
| Big iron on his hip | |
| Big iron, big iron | |
| When he tried to match the Ranger with the big iron on his hip | |
| Big iron on his hip |
