[ti:Big Iron]
[ar:Marty Robbins]
[al:Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs]
[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
