Big iron
Johnny cashHardly 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 amongt them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' 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
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
And the notches on his pistol numbered one an nineteen more
One and nineteen more
Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
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
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
Twenty men had tried to take twenty men had made a slip
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
The morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from their windows every-body held 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 play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
And the rangers aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
Oh he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip
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 The Big Iron on his hip
Dificilmente falava com as pessoas a sua volta, não tinha muito o que dizer
Ninguém se atrevia a perguntar sobre seus negócios, ninguém se atrevia a cometer um deslize
porque o desconhecido entre eles tinha uma pistola na cintura
Pistola na cintura
Era cedo numa manhã, quando ele veio para a cidade
Ele veio cavalgando pelo lado sul, olhando lentamente ao seu redor
Ele era um fora-da-lei solto e fugitivo, vindo de um sussurro em cada lábio
E estava ali para fazer um serviço, com sua pistola na cintura
Pistola em sua cintura
Nessa cidade cidade vivia um fora-da-lei, sob o nome Texas Red
Muitos homens tentaram pegá-lo e esses muitos homens estão mortos
Ele era um cruel e um assassino com apenas 24 anos
E as marcas em sua pistola contavam uma e mais dezenove
Uma e mais dezenove
Agora o forasteiro começara a falar, armando um plano com as pessoas do lugar
Era um xerife do Arizona que não ficarai muito na cidade
Ele viera para pegar um fora-da-lei vivo ou talvez morto
E disse que não importava, ele estava atrás de Texas Red
Atrás de Texas Red
Não demorou para que a história chegasse a Texas Red
mas o bandido não se preocupou, os que tentaram antes estava mortos
Vinte homens tentaram pegá-lo e vinte homens cometeram um deslize
O vigésimo primeiro seria o xerife com a pistola na cintura
Pistola na cintura
A manhã passou muito rápido, era a hora de eles se encontrarem
Eram vinte para as onze quando eles saíram para a rua
Aa pessoas assistiam de sua janelas, todos seguraram a respiração
eles sabiam que o o belo forasteiro estava prestes a encontrar a morte
Prestes a encontrar a morte
Haviam quarenta pés entre eles quando eles pararam para começar o jogo
E a agilidade do xerife, ainda é comentada até hoje
Texas Red não estava ligado quando uma bala deixou seu couro bastante rasgado
E o objetivo do xerife era mortal com a pistola na cintura
Pistola na cintura
Ele acabou em um momento e as pessoas haviam se reunido ao seu redor
Há diante deles jazia o corpo do fora-da-lei no chão
Oh, ele poderia ter continuado vivo mas ele fez um erro fatal
Quando ele tentou competir com o xerife com a pistola na cintura
Pistola na cintura
Pistola, pistola
Quando ele tentou competir com o xerife com a pistola na cintura, a grande pistola na cintura
