       F                                C
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip

                                          Am

       C                                                 Am
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around

         F                                C
He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip

        C                                 Am
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red

     C                                                Am
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead

       F                                C
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four

                                       Am
And the notches on his pistol numbered one an nineteen more

F                C
One and nineteen more

        C                                Am

He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead

                                    Am
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red

F           C
After Texas Red

       C                        Am
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red

        C                                              Am
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead

       C                                  Am
Well,the morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet

       C                                              Am
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street

           F                                C
Folks were watching from their windows every-body held their breath

       C                                    Am
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play

        C                                              Am
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day

       F                                C
Texas Red had not cleared leather for a bullet fairly ripped

                                        Am
And the rangers aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip

F                   C
The big iron on his hip

       C                        Am

There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground

      F                                C
