Devil's Right Hand - LAW
Lyrics by:Stephen F Earle
Composed by:Stephen F Earle
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
I asked if I could have
One 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
She really blew up and I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
The devil's right hand the devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol is the
Devil's right devil's right
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
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why
I never knew why I didn't understand
'Cause mama said the pistol
Is the devil's right hand
Never knew why I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol
Is the devil's right hand
Devil's right hand devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol
Is the devil's right devil's right
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 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
Not guilty I said you've got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger
But the devil's right hand
The devil's right hand the devil's right hand
Nothing touched the trigger
But the devil's right the devil's right
The devil's right hand
