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

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

MI
In this town there lived an outlaw 
       
DO#m
by the name of Texas Red
     
MI
Many men had tried to take him 
                       
DO#
and that many men were dead
       
LA                            
MI
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of 24
                                       
DO#m
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and 19 more
LA         
MI
One and 19 more

        
MI
Now the stranger started talking, 
        
DO#m
made it plain to folks around
       
MI                                      
DO#m
Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
        
LA
He came here to take an outlaw 
      
MI
back alive or maybe dead
                                    
DO#m
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
LA          
MI
After Texas Red

       
MI                          
DO#m
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
        
MI 
But the outlaw didn't worry men 
                       
DO#m
that tried before were dead
   
LA                            
MI
20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip

The morning passed so quickly, 
       
DO#m
it was time for them to meet
       
MI                                     
DO#m
It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street
           
LA
Folks were watching from the windows, 
     
MI
everybody held their breath
                       
They knew this handsome ranger 
     
DO#m
was about to meet his death
 
LA               
MI
About to meet his death

          
MI
There was 40 feet between them 
          
DO#m
when they stopped to make their play
        
MI
And the swiftness of the ranger 
                        
DO#m
is still talked about today
      
LA             
Texas Red had not cleared leather 
        
MI
'fore a bullet fairly ripped
                         
And the ranger's aim was deadly

It was over in a moment 
        
DO#m
and the folks had gathered round
        
MI
There before them lay the body 
                     
DO#m
of the outlaw on the ground
       
LA
Oh, he might have went on living 
       
MI
but he made one fatal slip
                         
When he tried to match the ranger

with the big iron on his hip
