                   .                           .   . .
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
                      .                 .                  . .
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
                       .                               .
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
                       .                             .
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
                  . .
Big iron on his hip

                   .                           .    . .
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
                       .                  .                . .
He came riding from the south side, slowly looking all around
                        .                                  .
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
                        .                               .
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
                  . . .
Big iron on his hip

                            .                         .   . .
In this town, there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
                     .                 .                . .
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead 
                    .                              .
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty-four
                      .                              .    .
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
                    . . .
One and nineteen more

                        .                                  . .
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
                 .                .                 . .
He was an Arizona Ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
                       .                         .
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
                     .                        .
And he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Red
              . . .
After Texas Red

                     .                              .    . .
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
                   .               .                      . .
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
                              .                            .
Folks were watching from their windows, everybody held their breath
                       .                          .     .
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
                          . .
Was about to meet his death

                      .                                        .    . .
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
                        .               .                . .
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
                         .                           .
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
                        .                             .
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
                      . .
The big iron on his hip

         .         .
Big iron,   big iron
                          .
When he tried to match the ranger
                       .
With the big iron on his hip
                      . . .
The big iron on his hip
