[00:00:00] Ballad of a Small Man - Marty Robbins

[00:00:01] Written by：Marty Robbins

[00:00:08] He was a small man but this man was all man

[00:00:11] He was accustomed to danger

[00:00:15] He knew the badlands he knew every bad man

[00:00:19] This man was a ranger

[00:00:23] Into the township of pecos he rode

[00:00:26] Everyone noticed this stranger

[00:00:30] Plainly it showed in the way that he rode in

[00:00:33] This man was a ranger

[00:00:37] Everyone watched as he climbed from his horse and walked by

[00:00:45] Every eye dropped to the gun hanging low on his side

[00:00:52] The silence was broken the ranger had spoken

[00:00:56] And these were his words

[00:01:00] I've trailed an outlaw for thirty six days

[00:01:04] I'm twenty hours behind him

[00:01:07] He's here in town so I'll just be around

[00:01:11] Long as it takes me to find him

[00:01:17] Slowly he turned and he looked down the street

[00:01:20] Then he looked back to the crowd

[00:01:24] Somethin' about him left no room to doubt

[00:01:27] He spoke very little but loud

[00:01:32] If it is pity you have for my size

[00:01:35] Save it don't waste it my friend

[00:01:39] This equalizer I have on my hip

[00:01:43] Makes me as big as the next man

[00:01:47] Then from a door came a curse and they knew at a glance

[00:01:54] The outlaw had stepped to the street to begin his advance

[00:02:02] Women grabbed children men grabbed their wives

[00:02:05] And they ran from the street

[00:02:09] Even the soft gentle breeze became still

[00:02:13] Death had a minute to wait

[00:02:17] Two hands would dive for a colt forty five

[00:02:20] One hand would come up too late

[00:02:26] Go for your gun was the outlaw's remark

[00:02:30] Tomorrow you'll sleep neath the stone

[00:02:33] The ranger replied there'll be plenty of time

[00:02:38] After you go for your own

[00:02:41] All of a sudden it happened

[00:02:45] Both of then grabbed for a gun

[00:02:49] Both clearing leather both fired together

[00:02:53] Everyone thought it was one gun

[00:02:56] A forty five slug hit the outlaw and spun him around

[00:03:04] His life was over he died on his way to the ground

[00:03:11] To our surprise we watched as the ranger

[00:03:15] Took one faltering step

[00:03:19] Slowly he crumbled and fell to the ground

[00:03:23] A bullet was deep in his side

[00:03:26] He looked all around but he spoke not a word

[00:03:30] A faint little smile and he died

[00:03:36] He was a small man but this man was all man

[00:03:40] He was accustomed to danger

[00:03:43] He knew the badlands he knew every bad man

[00:03:47] This man was a ranger
