Big Iron Colter Wall

[Verse 1]
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
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

[Verse 2]
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side, slowly looking all around
"He's an outlaw loose and running" came the whisper from each lip
"And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip"
Big iron on his hip

[Verse 3]
In this town there livеd an outlaw by the name of Texas Rеd
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty-four
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
One and nineteen more

[Verse 4]
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona Ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter, he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red
