Artist: Johnny Cash
Album: Unearthed (Disc 2 of 5/Track 12 of 16)
Well Cabout the time my daddy left to Ffight the big Cwar
Saw my first pistol in the Ggeneral Cstore
In the general store when FI was Cthirteen
Thought it was the finest thing I Gever had Cseen
I asked if I could have one Fwhen I grew Cup
Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she Greally blew Cup
She really blew up and I Fdidn't underCstand
Mama said the pistol is the GDevil's right Chand
CHORUS:
FShe really blew up and I Cdidn't understand
GMama said the pistol is the CDevil's right hand
The FDevil's right hand, the CDevil's right hand
GMama said the pistol is the CDevil's right hand
My Cvery first pistol was a Fcap 'n' ball CColt
Shoots as fast as lightning but it Gloads a might Cslow
It loads a might slow and I Fsoon found Cout
It can get you into trouble but it Gcan't get you Cout
Then I went and bought myself a FColt .4C5
Called a "Peacemaker&quGot; but I diCdn't know why
I never knew why and I Fdidn't underCstand
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the GDevil's right Chand
CHORUS:
FI never knew why and I Cdidn't understand
GMama said the pistol is the CDevil's right hand
The FDevil's right hand, the CDevil's right hand
GMama said the pistol is the CDevil's right hand
I got Cinto a card game in a Fcompany Ctown
Caught a minor cheatin' and I Gshot the dog Cdown
Shot the dog down, Fwatched the dog fCall
Never touched his holster, never Ghad a chance to Cdraw
The Trial was in the morning and they Fdrug me out of Cbed
Asked me how I pleaded, not Gguilty I Csaid
Not guilty I said, you've Fgot the wrong Cman
Nothin' touched the trigger but the GDevil's right Chand
CHORUS:
FNot guilty I said, Cyou've got the wrong man
GNothin' touched the trigger but the CDevil's right hand
The FDevil'sright hand, the CDevil's right hand
GNothin' touched the trigger but the CDevil's right hand
