Verse 1
E C#m
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
E C#m
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
A E
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
C#m
for the stranger there amongst them had a big iron on his hip
A E
Big iron on his hip
Verse 2
E C#m
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
E C#m
He came ridin' from the south side slowly lookin' all around
A E
He's an outlaw loose and runnin' came the whisper from each lip
C#m
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
A E
Big iron on his hip
Verse 3
E C#m
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
E C#m
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
A E
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
C#m
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
A E
One and nineteen more
Verse 4
E C#m
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
E C#m
Was an Ariona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
A E
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
C#m
And he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Red
A E
After Texas Red
Verse 5
E C#m
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
E C#m
But the outlaw didn't worry, men that tried before were dead
A E
Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip
C#m
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
A E
Big iron on his hip
Verse 6
E C#m
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
E C#m
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
A E
Folks were watching from their windows, everybody held their breath
C#m
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
A E
About to meet his death
Verse 7
E C#m
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
E C#m
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
A E
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
C#m
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
A E E6
Big iron on his hip
Verse 8
E C#m
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
E C#m
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
A E
Oh, he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip
C#m
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
A E
Big iron on his hip
Outro
A E
Big iron, big iron
E C#m
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
A E E6
