Song : The Devil's Right Hand

F-C-F
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

Chorus
Bb-F-C-F
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 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, Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

Chorus 2X
Bb-F-C-F
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

G-D-G
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

Chorus
C-G-D
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

Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
