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 amongst 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 lookin' 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 an nineteen more
One and nineteen
more
Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
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
Wasn't long
before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were
dead
Twenty men had tried to take twenty men had made a slip
Twenty one would be the ranger
with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
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 every-body held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was
about to meet his death
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
to-day
