To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day |
| [00:12.61] |
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say |
| [00:18.74] |
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip |
| [00:23.37] |
The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip |
| [00:27.65] |
big iron on his hip |
| [00:32.55] |
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town |
| [00:38.58] |
He came riding from the south side, slowly lookin' all around |
| [00:44.88] |
"He's an outlaw loose and runnin'", came a whisper from each lip |
| [00:49.21] |
"And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip “ |
| [00:53.62] |
big iron on his hip" |
| [00:58.41] |
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red |
| [01:04.57] |
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead |
| [01:10.63] |
He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four |
| [01:14.98] |
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more, |
| [01:19.38] |
one and nineteen more |
| [01:24.22] |
Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around |
| [01:30.37] |
Was an Arizonia ranger, wouldn't be too long in town |
| [01:36.56] |
He was here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead |
| [01:41.40] |
And he said it didn't matter that he was after Texas Red, |
| [01:45.69] |
after Texas Red |
| [01:50.48] |
Wasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red |
| [01:56.59] |
But the outlaw didn't worry, men who tried before were dead |
| [02:03.58] |
Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip, |
| [02:07.85] |
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip, |
| [02:12.45] |
big iron on his hip |
| [02:17.65] |
now the morning past so quickly and it was time for them to meet |
| [02:23.97] |
It was twenty past eleven when they rode out in the street |
| [02:29.77] |
Folks were watchin' from their windows, |
| [02:31.57] |
every body held their breath |
| [02:34.00] |
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death, |
| [02:38.41] |
about to meet his death |
| [02:43.41] |
There was twenty feet between them |
| [02:45.89] |
when they stopped to make their play |
| [02:49.63] |
And the swiftness of the Ranger still talked about today |
| [02:55.87] |
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped |
| [03:00.20] |
And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip, |
| [03:04.59] |
big iron on his hip |
| [03:09.48] |
It was over in a moment and the crowd all gathered 'round |
| [03:15.79] |
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground |
| [03:21.91] |
Oh, he might have went on livin' but he made one fatal slip |
| [03:26.31] |
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip, |
| [03:30.76] |
big iron on his hip |
| [03:35.54] |
Big iron, big iron, |
| [03:39.91] |
Oh he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip |
| [03:44.28] |
Big iron on his hip |
