About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war |
| [00:08.00] |
I saw my first pistol in the general store |
| [00:12.00] |
In the general store, when I was thirteen |
| [00:16.00] |
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen |
| [00:19.00] |
So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up |
| [00:22.00] |
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up |
| [00:25.00] |
She really blew up and I didn't understand |
| [00:28.00] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [00:31.00] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [00:34.00] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [00:41.00] |
My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt |
| [00:44.00] |
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow |
| [00:47.00] |
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out |
| [00:50.00] |
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out |
| [00:53.00] |
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45 |
| [00:56.00] |
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why |
| [00:59.00] |
Never knew why, I didn't understand |
| [01:03.00] |
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [01:07.00] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [01:10.00] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [01:13.00] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [01:16.00] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [01:35.00] |
Well I get into a card game in a company town |
| [01:38.00] |
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down |
| [01:41.00] |
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall |
| [01:44.00] |
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw |
| [01:48.00] |
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed |
| [01:51.00] |
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said |
| [01:54.00] |
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man |
| [01:58.00] |
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand |
| [02:01.00] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [02:04.00] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [02:07.00] |
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand |
| [02:10.00] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [02:23.00] |
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand |
| [02:30.00] |
