[00:06.18]To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
[00:12.61]Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
[00:18.74]No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
[00:23.37]The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
[00:27.65]big iron on his hip
[00:32.55]It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
[00:38.58]He came riding from the south side, slowly lookin' all around
[00:44.88]"He's an outlaw loose and runnin'", came a whisper from each lip
[00:49.21]"And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip “
[00:53.62]big iron on his hip"
[00:58.41]In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
[01:04.57]Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
[01:10.63]He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four
[01:14.98]And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more,
[01:19.38]one and nineteen more
[01:24.22]Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around
[01:30.37]Was an Arizonia ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
[01:36.56]He was here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
[01:41.40]And he said it didn't matter that he was after Texas Red,
[01:45.69]after Texas Red
[01:50.48]Wasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red
[01:56.59]But the outlaw didn't worry, men who tried before were dead
[02:03.58]Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip,
[02:07.85]Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
[02:12.45]big iron on his hip
[02:17.65]now the morning past so quickly and it was time for them to meet
[02:23.97]It was twenty past eleven when they rode out in the street
[02:29.77]Folks were watchin' from their windows,
[02:31.57]every body held their breath
[02:34.00]They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death,
[02:38.41]about to meet his death
[02:43.41]There was twenty feet between them
[02:45.89]when they stopped to make their play
[02:49.63]And the swiftness of the Ranger still talked about today
[02:55.87]Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
[03:00.20]And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip,
[03:04.59]big iron on his hip
[03:09.48]It was over in a moment and the crowd all gathered 'round
[03:15.79]There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
[03:21.91]Oh, he might have went on livin' but he made one fatal slip
[03:26.31]When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
[03:30.76]big iron on his hip
[03:35.54]Big iron, big iron,
[03:39.91]Oh he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
[03:44.28]Big iron on his hip
