[Verse 1] C To the town of Agua Fria Am Rode a stranger one fine day C Hardly spoke to folks around him Am Didn't have too much to say F No one dared to ask his business C No one dared to make a slip C The stranger there among them Am Had a big iron on his hip F C Big iron on his hip [Verse 2] C It was early in the mornin Am When he rode into the town C He came riding from the south side Am Slowly looking all around F "He's an outlaw loose and running" C Came the whisper from each lip C "And he's here to do some business Am With the big iron on his hip" F C Big iron on his hip [Verse 3] C In this town there lived an outlaw Am By the name of Texas Red C Many men had tried to take him Am And that many men were dead F He was vicious and a killer C Though a youth of twenty-four C And the notches on his pistol Am Numbered one and nineteen more F C One and nineteen more [Verse 4] C Now the stranger started talking Am Made it plain to folks around C Was an Arizona Ranger Am Wouldn't be too long in town F He came here to take an outlaw C Back alive, or maybe dead C And he said it didn't matter Am He was after Texas Red F C After Texas Red [Verse 5] C Wasn't long before the story Am Was relayed to Texas Red C But the outlaw didn't worry Am Men that tried before were dead F Twenty men had tried to take him C Twenty men had made a slip C Twenty-one would be the Ranger Am With the big iron on his hip F C Big iron on his hip [Verse 6] C The morning passed so quickly Am It was time for them to meet C It was twenty past eleven Am When they walked out in the street F Folks were watching from the windows C Everybody held their breath C They knew this handsome Ranger Am Was about to meet his death F C 'Bout to meet his death [Verse 7] C There was forty feet between them Am When they stopped to make their play C And the swiftness of the Ranger Am Is still talked about today F Texas Red had not cleared leather C 'Fore a bullet fairly ripped C And the Ranger's aim was deadly Am With the big iron on his hip F C Big iron on his hip [Verse 8] C It was over in a moment Am And the folks had gathered round C There before them lay the body Am Of the outlaw on the ground F Oh, he might have went on livin' C But he made one fatal slip C When he tried to match the Ranger Am With the big iron on his hip F C Big iron on his hip [Outro] F C Big iron, big iron C When he tried to match the Ranger Am With the big iron on his hip F C Big iron on his hip [Outro]
