I saw my first pistol in the general store

Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen

l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
6
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up

Really blew up, I didn't understand

Mama said,"The pistol is the devil's right hand"

The devil's right hand

The devil's right hand

Mama said,"The pistol
12
Is the devil's right hand

My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
14
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
15
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
16
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
17
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
18
Called a Peacemaker but I never knew why
19
Never knew why, I didn't understand

Well I get into a card game in a company town
30
Caught a miner cheating, I shot the dog down
31
Shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
32
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
33
The trial was in the morning and they [Incomprehensible] me out of bed
34
Asked me how I pleaded, "Not guilty" I said
35
"Not guilty", I said, you've got the wrong man
36
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
37
The devil's right hand

But the devil's right hand

Is the devil's right hand"
