_ [F] To the town of Owerfrio, [Dm] a stranger one fine day
_ _ _ [F] Heartless folk and folks around him didn't have [Dm] much to say _ _ _
[Bb] No one dared to ask a business, [F] no one dared to make a step
_ The stranger there among them [Dm] had a big iron on his head
[C] A big iron on [F] his head
It _ _ was early in the morning [Dm] when he rode into the town
_ _ [F] He came riding from the south side slowly looking [Dm] all around _ _ _
[Bb] He's an outlaw loosing and running, [F] he came the whisper from his lip
He's here to do some [Dm] business, there's a big iron on his head
[Bb] A big iron on [F] his head _ _ _ _
_ It's down there living outlaw by the name of Texas Red
_ _ Many [F] men it turned to take and that many [Dm] men were dead _ _ _
[Bb] He was vicious and a killer, [F] though the youth were twenty four
And the knock was on his desk, number [Dm] one and eighty four
[Bb] One and twenty four _ _ _
_ The stranger started talking, [Dm] made it plain to folks around
_ [D] _ _ [F] Was an outlaw and a ranger, wouldn't be too long [Dm] in town _ _ _
[Bb] Came here taking outlaw [F] back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter but he [Dm] was after Texas Red
[Bb] After [F] Texas Red _ _ _ _
_ It was a little long before the story [Dm] was really Texas Red
_ _ _ [F] But the outlaw didn't worry, been the drag [Dm] forward dead _ _ _
[Bb] Twenty men it tried to take him, [F] twenty men it made his split
The only one would be the ranger [Dm] with the big iron on his head
[Bb] Big iron on [F] his head _ _
_ Now the morning passed quickly and [Dm] it was time for them to meet
_ _ [F] It was twenty past eleven when they walked [Dm] out in the street _ _
[Bb] Folks were watching from the windows, [F] everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger [Dm] was about to meet his death
[Bb] About to meet [F] his death _ _ _

_ There were twenty feet between them [Dm] when they stopped to make their bed
_ _ _ [F] And the swiftness of the ranger still [Dm] talks about today _ _
[Bb] Was his nearly not clear leather, [F] yeah a bullet barely ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly [Dm] with the big iron on his head

_ _ _ [F] There before them lay the body of the outlaw [Dm] on the ground _ _
