	To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day						To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
	Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say						Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
1	No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip						No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip	1
2	For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip						for the stranger there amongt them had a big iron on his hip	2

3	It was early in the mornin' when he rode into the town						It was early in the morning when he rode into the town	3
	He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around						He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
4	He's an outlaw loose and runnin' came the whisper from each lip						He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip	4
	And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip						And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip

	In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red						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						Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead

	Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around						Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around

	He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead						He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
	And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red						And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red

	They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death						They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death

	There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play						There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
12	And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today						And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day	12
	Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped						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						And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
13	The big iron on his hip						Big      iron on his hip	13
14	Big iron, big iron						It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round	14
7							There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground	7
8							Oh he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip	8
	When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip						When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
	The big iron on his hip						Big iron on his hip
