[Verse 1]
E Am C
To the town of Agua Fria
Am
Rode a stranger one fine day
C
Hardly spoke to folks around him
Am
Didn't have too much to say
F
No one dared to ask his business
C
No one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them
Am
Had a big iron on his hip
F C
Big iron on his hip
[Verse 2]
C
It was early in the morning
Am
When he rode into the town
C
He came riding from the south side
Am
Slowly looking all around
F
"He's an outlaw loose and running"
C
Came the whisper from each lip
"And he's here to do some business
Am
With the big iron on his hip"
F C
Big iron on his hip
[Verse 3]
C
In this town there lived an outlaw
Am
By the name of Texas Red
C
Many men had tried to take him
Am
And that many men were dead
F
He was vicious and a killer
C
Though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol
Am
Numbered one and nineteen more
F C
One and nineteen more
[Verse 4]
C
Now the stranger started talking
Am
Made it plain to folks around
C
He was an Arizona ranger
Am
Wouldn't be too long in town
F
He came here to take an outlaw
C
Back alive, or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter;
Am
He was after Texas Red
F C
After Texas Red
[Verse 5]
C
Wasn't long before the story
Am
Was relayed to Texas Red
C
But the outlaw didn't worry
Am
Men that tried before were dead
F
Twenty men had tried to take him
C
Twenty men had made a slip
Twentyone would be the ranger
Am
With the big iron on his hip
F C
Big iron on his hip
[Verse 6]
C
The morning passed so quickly;
Am
It was time for them to meet
C
It was twenty past eleven
Am
When they walked out in the street
F
Folks were watching from the windows
C
Everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger
Am
Was about to meet his death
F C
About to meet his death
[Verse 7]
C
There was forty feet between them
Am
When they stopped to make their play
C
And the swiftness of the ranger
Am
Is still talked about today
F
Texas Red had not cleared leather
C
'Fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly
Am
With the big iron on his hip
F C
Big iron on his hip
[Verse 8]
C
It was over in a moment
Am
And the folks had gathered round
C
There before them lay the body
Am
Of the outlaw on the ground
F
Oh, he might have went on living
C
But he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger
Am
With the big iron on his hip
F C
Big iron on his hip
[Outro]
F C
Big iron, big iron
When he tried to match the ranger
Am
With the big iron on his hip
[Outro (Fade Out)]
F C Am
Big iron on his hip
