| [00:06.56] | To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day |
| [00:13.10] | Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say, |
| [00:19.13] | No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip |
| [00:23.61] | The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip, |
| [00:27.99] | big iron on his hip |
| [00:32.79] | It was early in the morning when he rode into the town |
| [00:39.10] | He came riding from the south side, slowly lookin' all around |
| [00:45.30] | "He's an outlaw loose and runnin'", came a whisper from each lip |
| [00:49.61] | "And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip, “ |
| [00:53.95] | big iron on his hip" |
| [00:58.82] | In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red |
| [01:05.20] | Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead |
| [01:11.16] | He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four |
| [01:15.63] | And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more, |
| [01:19.87] | one and nineteen more |
| [01:24.68] | Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around |
| [01:30.98] | Was an Arizonia ranger, wouldn't be too long in town |
| [01:37.42] | He was here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead |
| [01:41.63] | And he said it didn't matter that he was after Texas Red, |
| [01:45.93] | after Texas Red |
| [01:50.67] | Wasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red |
| [01:56.93] | But the outlaw didn't worry, men who tried before were dead |
| [02:04.28] | Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip, |
| [02:08.42] | Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip, |
| [02:13.30] | big iron on his hip |
| [02:18.40] | Now the morning past so quickly and it was time for them to meet |
| [02:24.90] | It was twenty past eleven when they rode out in the street |
| [02:30.28] | Folks were watchin' from their windows, |
| [02:32.27] | every body held their breath, |
| [02:34.71] | They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death, |
| [02:39.21] | about to meet his death |
| [02:43.98] | There was twenty feet between them |
| [02:46.47] | when they stopped to make their play |
| [02:50.20] | And the swiftness of the Ranger still talked about today |
| [02:56.54] | Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped |
| [03:00.82] | And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip, |
| [03:05.33] | big iron on his hip |
| [03:10.18] | It was over in a moment and the crowd all gathered 'round |
| [03:16.49] | There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground |
| [03:22.67] | Oh, he might have went on livin' but he made one fatal slip |
| [03:27.18] | When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip, |
| [03:31.48] | big iron on his hip |
| [03:36.33] | Big iron, big iron, |
| [03:40.75] | Oh he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip, |
| [03:45.39] | Big iron on his hip |
