To the town of Agua Fria
Rode a stranger one fine day
And he 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
For the stranger there among them
Had a big gun on his hip
Big gun on his hip
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 a big gun on his hip"
Big gun on his hip
In this town there lived an outlaw
By the name of Texas Red
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
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
It wasn't long before a story
Was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry
Been a traitor before or dead
Twenty men had tried to take him
Twenty men had made a slip
Twenty-one would be the Ranger
With the big gun on his hip
Big gun on his hip
The morning passed so quickly
It was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven
When they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows
Everybody held their breath
For they knew this handsome Ranger
Was about to meet his death
About to meet his death
