THE DEVIL'S RIGHT HAND About the time my Daddy went to fight the big war I saw my first pistol at the general store At the general store when I was thirteen I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen I asked if I could have one some day when I grew up My Momma dropped a dozen eggs she really blew She really blew up I didn't understand My Momma said the pistol was the Devil's right hand (chorus) The Devil's right hand The Devil's right hand My Momma said the pistol Is the devil's right hand My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt Shoot as fast as lightning but it load a mite slow Load a mite slow I soon found out It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out Then I went and bought myself a colt 45 Its called the peace maker but I never knew why I never knew why I didn't understand My Momma said the pistol is the Devil's right hand (chorus) Well I got into a card game in a company town I caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down I shot the dog down I watched the man fall Never touched his holster never had the chance to draw Well my trial 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 (chorus) The Devil's right hand The devil's right hand My Momma said the pistol is the Devil's right hand The devil's right hand The Devil's right hand Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand. |
