Big Iron
CTo the town of Agua Fria rode a Amstranger one fine day
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
It was early in the mornin' when he Amrode into the town
He came Criding from the south side slowly lookin' all a-Amround
He's an Foutlaw loose and runnin' 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
In this town there lived an outlaw by the Amname of Texas Red
Many Cmen had tried to take him and that many men were Amdead
He was Fvicious and a killer, though a Cyouth of twenty-four
And the notches on his pistol numbered Amone and nineteen more
FOne and nineteen Cmore
Now the stranger started talking made it Amplain to folks around
He was an CArizona ranger wouldn't be too long in Amtown
He came Fhere to take an outlaw back a-Clive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was Amafter Texas Red
FAfter Texas CRed
Wasn't long before the story was relay-Amed to Texas Red
But the Coutlaw didn't worry, men that Amtried before were dead
Twenty Fmen had tried to take him twenty Cmen had made a slip
Twenty one would be the stranger with the Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
The mornin' passed so quickly, it was Amtime for them to meet
It was Ctwenty past eleven when they walked out in the Amstreet
Folks were Fwatchin' from their windows, everybody held their Cbreath
They knew this handsome ranger was a-Ambout to meet his death
Was a-Fbout to meet his Cdeath
There was forty feet between them when they Amstopped to make their play
And the Cswiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-Amday
Texas FRed had not cleared leather when a Cbullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the Ambig iron on his hip
The Fbig iron on his Chip
Big F iron, big Ciron
When he tried to match the ranger with the Ambig iron on his hip
The Fbig iron on his Chip
