[Verse 1]
C . Am . . .
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
C . . Am . .
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
F . C .
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
C . Am .
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
F C . .
Big iron on his hip

[Verse 2]
C . Am . . .
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
C . . Am . .
He came riding from the south side, slowly looking all around
F . C .
He's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
C . Am .
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
F C . . .
Big iron on his hip

[Verse 3]
C . Am . . .
In this town, there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
C . . Am . .
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
F . C .
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty-four
C . Am . .
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
F C . . .
One and nineteen more

[Verse 4]
C . Am Am . .
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
C . . Am . .
He was an Arizona Ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
F . C .
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
C . Am .
And he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Red
F C . . .
After Texas Red

[Verse 5]
C . Am . . .
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
C . . Am . .
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
F . C .
Folks were watching from their windows, everybody held their breath
C . Am . .
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
F C . .
Was about to meet his death

[Verse 6]
C . Am . . .
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
C . . Am . .
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
F . C .
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
C . Am .
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
F C . .
The big iron on his hip

[Outro]
F . C .
Big iron, big iron
C .
When he tried to match the ranger
Am .
With the big iron on his hip
F C . . .
The big iron on his hip
