Verse
To the Ctown of Aqua Fria rode a stranger one fine Amday
Hardly Cspoke to folks around him didn't have too much to Amsay
No one Fdared to ask his business no one Cdared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
Verse
It was Cearly in the morning when he rode into the Amtown
He came Criding from the southside slowly looking all Amaround
He's an Foutlaw loose and running came the Cwhisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
Verse
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 and nineteen more
One and nineteen more
Verse
Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
He 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
Verse
The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out on the street
Folks were watching from their windows everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
Was about to meet his death
Verse
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
The big iron on his hip
Verse
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
Chorus
FBig iron Big Ciron
When he Ctried to match the ranger with the AmBig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
