The Devil's Right Hand Lyrics

'Bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war,
I saw my first pistol in the general store.
The general store when I was 13,
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen.

I asked if I could one someday when I grew up,
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she really blew up.
She really blew up and 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 is the Devil's right hand.

My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt,
Shoots like lightning but it loads a might slow.
Loads a might slow and I soon found out,
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out.

So then I went and bought myself a colt .45,
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why.
I never knew why, I didn't understand,
Mama said the pistol was the Devil's right hand.

The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand,
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand.
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand,
Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand.

I got into a card game in a Cumberland town,
Caught a miner cheatin' and I shot the dog down.
Shot the dog down, I watched the man fall,
Never touched his holster, never hand a chance to draw.

The time was in the morning and they drug me out of bed,
They asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said.
Not guilty I said, you got the wrong man,
Nothing touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand.

The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand,
Nothing touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand.
The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand,
Nothing touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand.

Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand.
