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