The Devil's Right Hand

(Johnny Cash)
 'Bout the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
 I saw my first pistol in the general store
 The general store, when I was thirteen
 Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
 (Willie Nelson)
 I asked if I could have one some day 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
 (All)
 The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
 Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
 (Kris Kristofferson)
 My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
 Shoots like lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
 It loads a mite slow, and soon I found out
 Gets you into trouble but it can't get you out
 (Waylon Jennings)
 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
 Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
 (All)
 The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
 Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
 The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
 Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
 (Waylon Jennings)
 I got into a card game in a company town
 I caught a miner cheating, I shot the dog down
 (Willie Nelson)
 I shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
 He never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
 (Kris Kristofferson)
 The trial was in the morning and they drug 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
 The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
 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 hand
 Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
