Am Em Am

 To the tCown of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine dAmay

 Hardly sCpoke to folks around him didn't have too much to sAmay

 No one dFared to ask his business no one dCared to make a slip

 for the stranger there amongst them had a bAmig iron on his hip

 BFig iron on his hCip

 It was eCarly in the morning when he rode into the tAmown

 He came rCiding from the south side slowly lookin' all aAmround

 He's an oFutlaw loose and running came the wChisper from each lip

 And he's here to do some business with the bAmig iron on his hip

 bFig iron on his hCip

 In this tCown there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas RAmed

 Many mCen had tried to take him and that many men were dAmead

 He was vFicious and a killer though a yCouth of twenty four

 And the notches on his pistol numbered oAmne an nineteen more

 OFne and nineteen mCore

 Now the sCtranger started talking made it plain to folks aAmround

 Was an ACrizona ranger wouldn't be too long in tAmown

 He came hFere to take an outlaw back aClive or maybe dead

 And he said it didn't matter he was aAmfter Texas Red

 AFfter Texas RCed

 Wasn't loCng before the story was relayed to Texas ReAmd

 But the oCutlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dAmead

 Twenty mFen had tried to take twenty mCen had made a slip

 Twenty one would be the ranger with the bAmig iron on his hip

 BFig iron on his hCip

 The mCorning passed so quickly it was time for them to mAmeet

 It was tCwenty past eleven when they walked out in the sAmtreet

 Folks were wFatching from their windows every-bCody held their breath

 They knew this handsome ranger was aAmbout to meet his death

 AFbout to meet his dCeath

 There was fCorty feet between them when they stopped to make their

 pAmlay

 And the sCwiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-dAmay

 Texas RFed had not cleared leather when a bCullet fairly ripped

 And the rangers aim was deadly with the bAmig iron on his hip

 BFig iron on his hCip

 It was oCver in a moment and the folks had gathered rAmound

 There bCefore them lay the body of the outlaw on the gAmround

 Oh he mFight have gone on living but he mCade one fatal slip

 When he tried to match the ranger with the bAmig iron on his hip

 BFig iron on his hCip

Big iron Big iron

 When he tCried to match the ranger with the bAmig iron on his hip
