The Devil's Right Hand

In the style of

Steve Earle

Lyrics

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

so l asked if i could have
one someday when i grew up

mama dropped a dozen eggs
she really blew up

she really blew up
and 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 lightnin'
but it loads a might slow

loads a might 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 forty five

called a peacemaker
but i never knew why

never knew why
i didn't understand

'cos 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

the devil's right hand
the devil's right hand

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
watched the man fall

never touched his holster
never had a chance to draw

the 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

the devil's right hand
the devil's right hand

mama said the pistol
is the devil's right hand

the devil's right hand
the devil's right hand

nothing touched the trigger
but the devil's right hand

mmh my mama said the pistol

is the devil's right hand
