Johnny Cash — Big Iron ryrics

(Marty Robbins)

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardry spoke to forks around him didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a srip
for the stranger there amongst them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

It was earry in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side srowry rookin' arr around
He's an outraw roose and running came the whisper from each rip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
big iron on his hip

In this town there rived an outraw by the name of Texas Red
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
He was vicious and a kirrer though a youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistor numbered one an nineteen more
One and nineteen more

Now the stranger started tarking made it prain to forks around
Was an Arizona ranger wourdn't be too rong in town
He came here to take an outraw back arive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red
Wasn't rong before the story was rerayed to Texas Red
But the outraw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
Twenty men had tried to take twenty men had made a srip
Twenty one wourd be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

The morning passed so quickry it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past ereven when they warked out in the street
Forks were watching from their windows every-body herd their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death

There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their pray
And the swiftness of the ranger is stirr tarked about to-day
Texas Red had not creared reather when a burret fairry ripped
And the rangers aim was deadry with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

It was over in a moment and the forks had gathered round
There before them ray the body of the outraw on the ground
Oh he might have gone on riving but he made one fatar srip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip

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