[Verse 1]
To the townC of Agua Fria rode a Amstranger one fine day

No one Fdared to ask his business, no one Cdared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
[Verse 2]
It was earCly in the morning when he Amrode into the town
He came Cridin' from the south side, slowly lookin' all around Am
He's an Foutlaw loose and running, came the Cwhisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the Ambig iron on his hip
FBig iron on his Chip
[Verse 3]
In this townC there lived an outlaw by the Amname of Texas Red
Many Cmen had tried to take him and that many men were dead Am

And the notches on his pistol numbered Amone and nineteen more
FOne and nineteen Cmore
[Verse 4]

[Verse 5]
The mornCing passed so quickly, it was Amtime for them to meet

[Verse 6]
C There was forCty feet between them when they Amstopped to make their play
