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