1
About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
2
I saw my first pistol in the general store
3
In the general store, when I was thirteen
4
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
5
So l asked if I could have one when I grew up
6
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up
7
She really blew up and I didn't understand
8
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
9
She really blew up and I didn't understand
10
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
11
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
12
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
13
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 i soon 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
20
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
21
Never knew why, I didn't understand
22
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
23
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
24
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
25
Well I get into a card game in a company town
26
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down
27
Shot the dog down, watched the dog fall
28
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
29
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
30
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
31
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
32
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
33
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
34
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
35
the devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
36
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
