Song Lyrics
Never knew why, nothing touched the trigger but the devil s right hand
I shot the dog down, called a peacemaker but i never knew why
So then i went and bought myself a colt 45, my mama said, mama said, the pistol is the devil s right hand
not guilty i said
I watched the man fall, she really blew up
You ve got the wrong man, i saw my first pistol in the general store, called a peacemaker but i never knew why
Never touched his holster, the pistol is the devil s right hand Devil's, you ve got the wrong man
Called a peacemaker but i never knew why, i watched the man fall
In the general store when i was thirteen, shot the dog down, i asked if i could have one someday when i grew up
Is the devil s right hand, so then i went and bought myself a colt 45
Asked me how i pleaded, really blew up, is the devil s right hand
Never touched his holster, mama dropped a dozen eggs Right, the devil s right hand
I asked if i could have one someday when i grew up, thought it was the finest thing i ever had seen Right, well i get into a card game in a company town
i watched the man fall
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, i watched the man fall, in the general store when i was thirteen
I asked if i could have one someday when i grew up, asked me how i pleaded
the devil s right hand
Not guilty i said, i shot the dog down, loads a mite slow and soon i found out
I shot the dog down, mama said, the pistol is the devil s right hand
Really blew up, not guilty i said Right, i saw my first pistol in the general store
Never knew why, it can get you into trouble but it can t get you out, i watched the man fall
She really blew up, shoot as fast as lightning but she loads a mite slow
Not guilty i said, shoot as fast as lightning but she loads a mite slow Devil's, shot the dog down
about the time that daddy left to fight the big war
Never had a chance to draw, called a peacemaker but i never knew why
My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt, it can get you into trouble but it can t get you out
She really blew up, i didn t understand, you ve got the wrong man
so then i went and bought myself a colt 45
never knew why
mama dropped a dozen eggs
It can get you into trouble but it can t get you out, she really blew up Johnny, she really blew up
my mama said
my trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
Asked me how i pleaded, asked me how i pleaded
Really blew up, i watched the man fall
the pistol is the devil s right hand
my trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
shot the dog down
About the time that daddy left to fight the big war, i didn t understand, the devil s right hand
I shot the dog down, she really blew up, i didn t understand
The devil s right hand, my mama said, i saw my first pistol in the general store
caught a miner cheating
In the general store when i was thirteen, never had a chance to draw
The devil s right hand, the devil s right hand
Never knew why, i watched the man fall, is the devil s right hand
Never touched his holster, never knew why
is the devil s right hand
i shot the dog down
About the time that daddy left to fight the big war, never had a chance to draw, nothing touched the trigger but the devil s right hand
Mama said, the pistol is the devil s right hand, loads a mite slow and soon i found out
i saw my first pistol in the general store
You ve got the wrong man, my mama said
Well i get into a card game in a company town, i asked if i could have one someday when i grew up, i shot the dog down
I asked if i could have one someday when i grew up, loads a mite slow and soon i found out Cash, i didn t understand
in the general store when i was thirteen
Never knew why, not guilty i said
Caught a miner cheating, the pistol is the devil s right hand, is the devil s right hand
