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 (Willie Nelson) So I asked if I could have one some day 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 (All together)] The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand (Kris Kristofferson) My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt Shoots as fast as lightin' but it loads a mighty slow Loads a mighty slow and soon I found out It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out (Waylon Jennings) 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 Well I got 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 (Repeat chorus...)
