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

C Am
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
C Am
He came riding from the southside 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 the 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 that many men were dead

He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
