Re: [DL] Texas Rangers

On this note. . .

Has there been a reference to the Arizona and/or the New Mexico Rangers 
anywhere?

I'm just wondering  'cause I ran across references of 'em before, and I 
just picked up the cowboy ballads of Marty Robbins - especially Big Iron.

"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
He said he 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
Twenty men had tried to take him
	Twenty men had made a slip
Twenty-one would be the Ranger
	with the big iron on his hip."
