Lyrics
0:17To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
0:25Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
0:33No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
0:38For the stranger there amongt them had a big iron on his hip
0:44Big iron on his hip
0:49It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
0:57He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
1:04He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
1:10And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
1:15Big iron on his hip
1:21In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
1:29Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
1:37He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
1:42And the notches on his pistol numbered one an nineteen more
1:49One and nineteen more
1:55Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
2:02Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town
2:10He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
2:15And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
2:20After Texas Red
2:27The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
2:34It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
2:42Folks were watching from their windows every-body held their breath
2:47They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
2:53Was about to meet his death
2:58There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
3:06And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day
3:13Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
3:19And the rangers aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
3:24Big iron on his hip
3:29Big iron Big iron
3:34When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip The Big Iron on his hip
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 amongt 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 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 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 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 Big iron Big iron When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip The Big Iron on his hip
