No one dared to ask his business,

no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them

had a big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning

when he rode into the town
C
He came riding from the south side

though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol

numbered one an nineteen more

Now the stranger started talking,
Am
made it plain to folks around
C
He was an Arizona ranger,

He came here to take an outlaw

back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter,
Am
he was after Texas Red

Verse 5
C
The morning passed so quickly
Am
it was time for them to meet
C
It was twenty past eleven
Am
when they walked out in the street
F
Folks were watching from their windows,
C
everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger
Am
was about to meet his death
F
C
Was about to meet his death
Verse 6
C
There was forty feet between them
Am
when they stopped to make their play
C
And the swiftness of the ranger
Am
is still talked about today
F
Texas Red had not cleared leather
C
when a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly
Am
with the big iron on his hip
F
C
The big iron on his hip
