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
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
And the rangers aim
was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was over in a moment
and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the
ground
Oh he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match
the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Big iron Big
iron
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
