[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
