Big Iron - Marty Robbins

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Robbins
[00:06.64]To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
[00:12.83]Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say,
[00:19.30]No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
[00:23.54]The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip,
[00:28.20]big iron on his hip
[00:33.28]It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
[00:39.48]He came riding from the south side, slowly lookin' all around
[00:45.70]"He's an outlaw loose and runnin'", came a whisper from each lip
[00:49.84]"And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip,
[00:54.26]big iron on his hip"
[00:59.20]In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
[01:05.17]Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
[01:11.41]He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four
[01:15.66]And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more,
[01:20.40]one and nineteen more
[01:24.99]Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around
[01:31.50]Was an Arizonia ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
[01:37.34]He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
[01:41.57]And he said it didn't matter that he was after Texas Red,
[01:46.40]after Texas Red
[01:50.99]Wasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red
[01:57.17]But the outlaw didn't worry, men who tried before were dead
[02:04.54]Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip,
[02:08.86]Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
[02:13.33]big iron on his hip
[02:18.25]Now the morning past so quickly and it was time for them to meet
[02:24.42]It was twenty past eleven when they rode out in the street
[02:30.15]Folks were watchin' from their windows,
[02:32.61]every body held their breath,
[02:34.53]They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death,
[02:39.82]about to meet his death
[02:44.22]There was forty feet between them
[02:46.20]when they stopped to make their play
[02:50.19]And the swiftness of the Ranger is still talked about today
[02:56.23]Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
[03:00.88]And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip,
[03:05.19]big iron on his hip
[03:10.20]It was over in a moment and the folks all gathered 'round
[03:16.40]There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
[03:22.59]Oh, he might have went on livin' but he made one fatal slip
[03:26.89]When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
[03:31.43]big iron on his hip
[03:36.64]Big iron, big iron,
[03:40.69]Oh he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
[03:44.94]Big iron on his hip
