| About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
|
| I saw my first pistol in the general store
|
| In the general store when I was thirteen
|
| Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
|
| I asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
|
| 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
|
| Is the devil’s right hand»
|
| My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
|
| Shoot as fast as lightning but she loads a mite slow
|
| Loads a mite slow and soon I 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
|
| Never knew why, I didn’t understand
|
| Mama said, «The pistol is the devil’s right hand»
|
| Well I get into a card game in a company town
|
| Caught a miner cheating, I shot the dog down
|
| Shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
|
| Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
|
| My trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
|
| Asked me how I pleaded, «Not guilty» I said
|
| «Not guilty», I said, you’ve got the wrong man
|
| Nothing touched the trigger but the devil’s right hand
|
| My Mama said, «The pistol
|
| Is the devil’s right hand» |
