Big Iron (Fallout New Vegas/Marty Robbins) - Colm R. McGuinness

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.

HANDSOME

WITH A BIG IIIIIRON ON HIS HIP 🗣🗣🗣

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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 🧡

Texas Red: Is too slow. Ranger: Aim was deadly. Andrew Jackson: Wrong.

Staring firmly into the horizon while listening to this

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.

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

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

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

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

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