[Verse 1]
[Am]To t[E]he[Am]
[C]town of Alfrea
rode a [Am]stranger one fine day
Hardly [C]spoke to folks around him,
didn't have too much to [Am]say
No one [F]dared to ask his business,
no one [C]dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them
[G]had a [Am]big iron on his hip,
big [F]iron on his [C]hip
It was early in the morning
when he [Am]rode into the town
He came [C]riding from the south side
slowly looking [Am]all around
He's an [F]outlaw loose and running
came the [C]whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business
with a [Am]big iron on his hip
Big iron [F]on his [C]hip
In this town there lived an outlaw
[G]by the [Am]name of Texas Red
Many men [C]had tried to take him
and that many men were [Am]dead
He was [F]vi cious and a killer,
though a [C]youth of twenty -four
And the notches on his pistol [G]numbered
1 [Am]and 19 more, 1 a[F]nd 19 [C]more
Now the stranger started talking,
[G]made it [Am]plain to folks around
Was an [C]Arizona ranger,
wouldn't be too long in [Am]town
He came [F]here to take an outlaw
back [C]alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter,
[Am]he was after Texas Red, af[F]ter Texas [C]Red
It wasn't long before the story
was re[Am]layed to Texas Red
But the [C]outlaw didn't worry
men that tried be[Am]fore were dead
Twenty men [F]had tried to take him,
twenty men [C]had made a slip
Twenty -one would be the ranger
with [Am]a big iron on his hip,
big iron [F]on his [C]hip
The morning passed so quickly
[G]it was [Am]time for them to meet
It was [C]twenty past eleven
when they walked out in the [Am]street
Folks were [F]watching from the windows,
everybody [C]held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger
was [Am]about to meet his death,
about [F]to meet his [C]death
There was forty feet between them
when they [Am]stopped to make their play
And the [C]swiftness of the ranger
is still talked [Am]about today
Texas [F]red did not cleared leather
for a [C]bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly
with a [Am]big iron on his hip,
big [F]iron on his [C]hip
It was over in a moment
[Am]an d the folks had gathered round
There before [C]them lay the body
of the outlaw on the [Am]ground
Oh, he [F]might have went on living,
but he [C]made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger
with a [Am]big iron on his hip,
big [F]iron on his [C]hip.
[F]Big iron, big [C]iron.
When he tried to match the ranger
with a [Am]big iron on his hip,
big [F]iron on his [C]hip.[Am]
