Karaoké Big Iron Johnny Cash

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

For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

It was early in the mornin' when he rode into the town

He came ridin' from the south side slowly lookin' all around

He's an outlaw loose and runnin'

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

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red

Many men had tried to take him and there 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 talkin'

Made it plain to folks around

He 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

The mornin' passed so quickly it was time for them to meet

It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street

Folks were watchin' from their windows

Everybody held their breath

They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death

Was about to meet his death

There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play

And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today

Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped

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

The big iron on his hip

Big iron

Big iron

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

The big iron on his hip
