[00:08.16]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
