Lyrics
Texas Red started to kill when he was just 19
Put a bullet through a man's heart
And fell in love with devil's art
Word was out before the sky turned black
That Red killed a man, for a half bottle of Jack
On a Rainy Day, seven boys tried to take Red down
But Red fired five rounds out his gun
Red missed not one
He put his last round through their horse's head
And when it fell, it crushed the last two dead
A few months passed, and Red set out of town for 40 days
He stopped by the grave of Old Man Crow
Then away Red rode
Red set out for Montana
With an evil grin beneath his dirty bandana
Early in the morn, before the sun's light even did show
Red snuck through the barbed wire fence
For the killing to commence
The Montana's Cowboy didn't even stand
Before Red well he put four holes through that poor man
That cowboy had a dad, and that daddy had a brother
He lived in Arizona in a small town
So the daddy rode down
When he got to his brother Dan he cried:
"My son, well he was shot and died."
When Dan rose from his chair, well the Daddy spoke these words:
"I put a bounty up so Ranger Dan.
Go kill this man."
(Dan said:)
"You can pay me the next time I see ya
And away he rode to the town of Agua Fria."
While the Angels sang
