[G] [Cm] Dear the town of [Eb] Alfreer, rode a stranger one [Cm] fine day.
[Eb] Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much [Cm] to say.
[Ab] No one dared to ask his business, [Eb] no one dared to make a slip.
The stranger there [C] among them had a big [Cm] iron on his hip.
[Ab] Big iron on [Eb] his hip.
It was early in the morning [Cm] when he rode into the town.
He [Eb] came riding from the south side, slowly looking all [Cm] around.
[Ab] He's an outlaw, loose and running, came [Eb] the whisper from each lip.
And he's here to do some business [Cm] with the big iron on his hip.
[Ab] Big iron [Eb] on his hip.
In this town there lived [D] an outlaw by [Cm] the name of Texas Ray.
Many men [Eb] had tried to take him and that many men [Cm] were dead.
[Ab] He was vicious and a killer, [Eb] though a youth of 24.
And the notches on his pistol numbered one in 19 more.
One in 19 more.
Now the stranger started talking, made [Em] it plain to folks [Cm] around.
Was an Arizona [Eb] ranger, wouldn't be too [Cm] long in town.
He [Ab] came here to take an outlaw [Eb] back alive or maybe dead.
And he said it didn't matter, he was [Cm] after Texas Ray.
[Ab] After [Eb] Texas Ray.
Wasn't long before the story was [Cm] relayed to Texas Ray.
[Abm] But the outlaw [Eb] didn't worry men that [Ab] tried [Cm] before were dead.
20 [Ab] men had tried to take [Eb] him, 20 men had made a slip.
21 would be the ranger with the [Cm] big iron on his hip.
Big iron on [Eb] his hip.
The morning passed so quickly [G] it was time for [Cm] them to meet.
It was [Eb] 20 past 11 when they walked [Fm] out in [Cm] the street.
[Ab] Folks were watching from the windows, everybody [Eb] held their breath.
They knew this handsome ranger [Cm] was about to meet his death.
[Ab] About to meet [Eb] his death.
There was 40 feet between them when [Cm] they stopped to make their play.
[C] And [Eb] the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about [Cm] today.
Texas [Ab] Ray did not cleared leather [Eb] for a bullet fairly ripped.
And the ranger's aim was deadly [Cm] with the big iron on his hip.
Big iron on [Eb] his hip.
It was over [Cm] in a moment and the folks had gathered round.
There [Eb] before them lay the body of the outlaw [Cm] on the ground.
Oh [Ab] he might have went on living [Eb] but he made one fatal slip.
When he tried to match the ranger [Cm] with the big iron on his hip.
[Ab] Big iron [Eb] on his hip.
[Ab] Big iron, [Eb] big iron.
When he tried to match the ranger [Cm] with the big iron on his hip.
[Ab] Big iron [Eb] on his hip.
