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 and nineteen more

And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red

It was twenty past eleven when they walked out on the street
Folks were watching from their windows everybody held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death

There was forty fet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
