Murhainfoon hyvin sopiva suomennos Marty Robbinsin Big Iron -kantriklassikosta.
Frederik - Kostaja

Hiekka hehkui päivä poltti kun hän saapui kaupunkiin,
Rento askel suuri coltti tappajaksi arveltiin,
Hältä kyselty ei turhaan miksi liikkui näillä main,
Sillä varmaan itsemurhaan liiat puheet veisi vain,
Puheet veisi vain.
Kun on tappaminen työnä tunteet mieltä paina ei,
Yhden hengen viime yönä hurja-Billin coltti vei,
Hän on kauhunamme, tällä taidot tarkkaan tunnetaan,
Jos hän vain on sillä päällä niin on herkkä ampumaan,
Herkkä ampumaan.
Vieras mies jo baaritiskin luota kylmän katseen luo,
Kansa väistyy, tuplaviskin hän vain tilaa sitten juo,
Hurja-Bill myös huomaa miehen, kylmä katse vaihdetaan,
Juominen jää puolitiehen, Bill vain istuu paikallaan, istuu paikallaan.
Hiki nousee miesten pintaan, Bill jo coltin kiskaisee,
Silloin luoti osuu rintaan, muukalainen hymyilee.
Coltin huulillensa nostaa, piippuun hiljaa puhaltaa,
Työ on tehty hän sai kostaa, katsoo vielä kuolevaa,
Katsoo kuolevaa.
Kaikki parempansa kohtaa, muukalainen tietää sen.
Kosto uuteen kostoon johtaa, saapuu päivä viimeinen.
Bill nyt voittajansa löysi, jatkuu muukalaisen tie,
Mutta coltti taikka köysi hengen hältä vie,
Hengen hältä vie.

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
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 24
And the notches on his 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
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
After Texas Red
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
20 men had tried to take him, 20 men had made a slip
21 would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his 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 handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his 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
Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his 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 he might have went on living but he made one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Big iron Big iron
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
