waylon jennings - the devil's right hand lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1:]
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
l asked if i could have one someday when i grew up
mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up
really blew up, i didn’t understand
mama said, “the pistol is the devil’s right hand”

[chorus:]
the devil’s right hand[x2]
mama said, “the pistol
is the devil’s right hand”

[verse 2:]
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
mama said, “the pistol is the devil’s right hand”

[chorus][x2]

[verse 3:]
well i get into a card game in a company town
caught a miner cheating, i shot the dog down
shot the dog down, i watched the man fall
never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
the trial was in the morning and they [?] 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][x2]

[outro:]
my mama said, “the pistol
is the devil’s right hand”
