About the time my Daddy left to fight the big war |
| [00:11.91] |
Saw my first pistol in a general store |
| [00:15.37] |
In the general store, when I was thirteen |
| [00:19.48] |
I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen |
| [00:23.00] |
So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up |
| [00:27.24] |
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up |
| [00:30.51] |
She really blew up, she didn't understand |
| [00:34.58] |
Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand |
| [00:38.84] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [00:42.82] |
Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand |
| [00:54.32] |
My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt |
| [00:57.52] |
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow |
| [01:01.42] |
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out |
| [01:05.73] |
It will get you into trouble but it can't get you out |
| [01:09.76] |
Bout a year later got a Colt 45 |
| [01:13.55] |
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why |
| [01:17.01] |
Never knew why, I didn't understand |
| [01:20.86] |
'Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [01:25.07] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [01:28.79] |
Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand |
| [01:32.75] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [01:36.79] |
Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand |
| [01:56.06] |
Got into a card game in a crumbling town |
| [01:59.75] |
Caught a miner cheating so I shoot the dog down |
| [02:04.46] |
Shoot the dog down, watched the man fall |
| [02:07.56] |
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw |
| [02:11.41] |
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed |
| [02:15.13] |
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said |
| [02:18.96] |
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man |
| [02:22.81] |
Nothing touched the pistol but the devil's right hand |
| [02:26.68] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [02:29.59] |
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand |
| [02:34.47] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [02:38.37] |
Mama said the pistol was the devil's right hand |
