This version coming out proves that the swiftness of the ranger is indeed still talked about today.

We won't go quietly - the Legion can count on that.

An Irish Constable from New York turned to Texas/Arizona Ranger in Amarillo is what comes to mind when I here this.

My boyfriend got me New Vegas during the sale celebrating the show. I loaded it up, and this was the first song that played on the radio. I immediately knew that it was going to be special to me, both the game and this song.

Marty Robbins is great for you. His story songs have emotional subtlies most singers miss. You've a fine gift for stressing these subtle qualities without being obvious or clumsy. Which is harder than most people realize.

Please, please, please do El Passo!

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
Big iron on his hip

Sometimes I struggle understanding, I think I need a Disney sing along version. lol

I find it interesting how somber this sounds in comparison to the original but it's absolutely beutiful.

[ForeverWog]

This and Johnny Guitar were always the ones I was glad to hear when it popped up on my Pip-Boy.

[REDcladSPECTER]

I feel like the original song has an air like it’s being sung either as the events are taking place or right after. The tension and surprise of the duel is palpable. Your version feels a lot more nostalgic. Like the towns folk are remembering the day the ranger came to town with fondness. It’s a beautiful twist on such an iconic tune.

[McbrideStudios]

Might be my favorite cover of one of my favorite ballads.

[blurred-antics]

i love how you always end up looping back to folk. It always ends up feeling like i'm finding your channel for the first time all over again. yet another lovely cover, capt'n 🧡

[JustADuckFarmer]

My dad first introduced me to Marty Robinson, and this and El Paso were his favorites. You did an amazing job with it. I can’t wait for my dad to see it.

[sabertoothanimations]

Big Iron has been one of my all time favorite songs, so really happy to hear you make a version of it

[ZanickyInsanity]

Another triumph, Colm! Marty Robbins fan here, you did this song justice in your own right.

[Qwertylol]

I first heard this because Geoff sang it (I’ll be honest, he’s how I got started listening to bass/subharmonic in the first place) and now you’re singing it, and now I want you both to sing a song together. Your high notes are very pure and crisp, but you can introduce grit a lot easier, while Geoff has those kind of milk chocolate sweet lows and mids (not like Bobby, who has straight dark chocolate smooth bass)
That would be my Christmas wish this year 😂

W song
WE GOIN TO THE WILD WEST WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️

[DarthNoox]

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. But this makes that desire a little less

Haven’t clicked on a video this fast in a while lol
