Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: Unearthed (Disc 2 of 5/Track 12 of 16)
Well Eabout the time my daddy left to Afight the big Ewar
Saw my first pistol in the Bgeneral Estore
In the general store when AI was Ethirteen
Thought it was the finest thing I Bever had Eseen
I asked if I could have one Awhen I grew Eup
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she Breally blew Eup
She really blew up and I Adidn't underEstand
Mama said the pistol is the BDevil's right Ehand
CHORUS:
AShe really blew up and I Edidn't understand
BMama said the pistol is the EDevil's right hand
The ADevil's right hand, the EDevil's right hand
BMama said the pistol is the EDevil's right hand
My Every first pistol was a Acap 'n' ball EColt
Shoots as fast as lightning but it Bloads a might Eslow
It loads a might slow and I Asoon found Eout
It can get you into trouble but it Bcan't get you Eout
Then I went and bought myself a AColt .4E5
Called a "Peacemaker&quBot; but I diEdn't know why
I never knew why and I Adidn't underEstand
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the BDevil's right Ehand
CHORUS:
AI never knew why and I Edidn't understand
BMama said the pistol is the EDevil's right hand
The ADevil's right hand, the EDevil's right hand
BMama said the pistol is the EDevil's right hand
I got Einto a card game in a Acompany Etown
Caught a minor cheatin' and I Bshot the dog Edown
Shot the dog down, Awatched the dog fEall
Never touched his holster, never Bhad a chance to Edraw
The Trial was in the morning and they Adrug me out of Ebed
Asked me how I pleaded, not Bguilty I Esaid
Not guilty I said, you've Agot the wrong Eman
Nothin' touched the trigger but the BDevil's right Ehand
CHORUS:
ANot guilty I said, Eyou've got the wrong man
BNothin' touched the trigger but the EDevil's right hand
The ADevil'sright hand, the EDevil's right hand
BNothin' touched the trigger but the EDevil's right hand
