It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
Saat itu pagi-pagi ketika dia naik ke kota
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin’ all around
Dia datang mengendarai dari sisi selatan perlahan melihat sekelilingnya
He’s an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
Dia adalah penjahat yang lepas dan berlari terdengar bisikan dari setiap bibir
And he’s here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Dan dia di sini untuk melakukan bisnis dengan besi besar di pinggulnya

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

Tidak lama kemudian ceritanya disampaikan ke Texas Red
But the outlaw didn’t worry men that tried before were dead

There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
Ada empat puluh kaki di antara mereka saat mereka berhenti untuk bermain
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day
Dan kecepatan ranger masih dibicarakan hari ini

Oh, dia mungkin terus hidup tapi dia berhasil membuat kesalahan fatal
