To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around her, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask her business, no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a good iron on her hip
Good iron on her hip
It was early in the morning when she rode into the town
She came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
She's an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from each lip
And she's here to do some business with the good iron on her hip
Good iron on her hip
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Princess Red
Many men had tried to take her and that many men were dead
She was vicious and a killer though a youth of i don't know
And the notches on her pistol numbered one and 19 more
One and 19 more
Now the stranger started talking, made it plain to folks around
Was an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
She came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And she said it didn't matter she was after Princess Red
After Princess Red
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Princess Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
20 men had tried to take her, 20 men had made a slip
21 would be the ranger with the good iron on her hip
Good iron on her hip
The morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet
It was 20 past 11 when they walked out in the street
Folks were watching from the windows, everybody held their breath
They knew this wholesome ranger was about to meet her death
About to meet her death
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today
Princess Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the good iron on her hip
Good iron on her 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, she might have went on living but she made one fatal slip
When she tried to match the ranger with the good iron on her hip
Good iron on her hip
Good iron, good iron
When she tried to match the ranger with the good iron on her hip
Good iron on her hip
