About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war |
| [00:11.88] |
I saw my first pistol in the general store |
| [00:15.27] |
In the general store, when I was thirteen |
| [00:19.41] |
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen |
| [00:22.20] |
So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up |
| [00:26.97] |
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up |
| [00:30.87] |
She really blew up and I didn't understand |
| [00:34.53] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [00:38.16] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [00:42.12] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [00:53.46] |
My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt |
| [00:57.30] |
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow |
| [01:00.63] |
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out |
| [01:04.98] |
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out |
| [01:08.55] |
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45 |
| [01:12.72] |
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why |
| [01:14.55] |
Never knew why, I didn't understand |
| [01:20.04] |
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [01:23.70] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [01:27.63] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [01:31.20] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [01:35.19] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [01:53.31] |
Well I get into a card game in a company town |
| [01:57.66] |
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down |
| [02:00.42] |
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall |
| [02:05.25] |
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw |
| [02:08.37] |
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed |
| [02:12.84] |
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said |
| [02:16.71] |
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man |
| [02:20.25] |
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand |
| [02:23.79] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [02:27.72] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [02:31.23] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [02:36.24] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [02:42.63] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
