Intro
C# minorC#m

    |C# minorC#m
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
    |C# minorC#m
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
    |E MajorE
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
                     |C# minorC#m
for the stranger there amongst them had a big iron on his hip
|E MajorE
Big iron on his hip

    |C# minorC#m
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
    |C# minorC#m
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
    |E MajorE
He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
                      |C# minorC#m
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
|E MajorE
big iron on his hip


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

    |C# minorC#m
Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
    |C# minorC#m
Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town
    |E MajorE
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
                  |C# minorC#m
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
|E MajorE
After Texas Red
    |C# minorC#m
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
    |C# minorC#m
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
    |E MajorE
Twenty men had tried to take twenty men had made a slip
                    |C# minorC#m
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
|E MajorE
Big iron on his hip


  |C# minorC#m
The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
    |C# minorC#m
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
      |E MajorE
Folks were watching from their windows every-body held their breath
                  |C# minorC#m
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
|E MajorE
About to meet his death


     |E MajorE
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their
|C# minorC#m
play
    |C# minorC#m
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day
   |E MajorE
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
                    |C# minorC#m
And the rangers aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
|E MajorE
Big iron on his hip


    |C# minorC#m
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
   |C# minorC#m
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
   |E MajorE
Oh he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip
                      |C# minorC#m
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
|E MajorE
Big iron on his hip
  |C# minorC#m   |?

    |C# minorC#m
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
|E MajorE
