Lyrics for The Devils Right Hand by Steve Earle:
| | | Artist: | Steve Earle |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Devils Right Hand | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 75 | | | | Lyrics: | About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
I saw my first pistol in the general store
In the general store, when I was thirteen
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had
seen
So l asked if I could have one someday 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
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama said the
pistol is the devil's right hand
My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
Shoot
as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
It
can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why
Never knew why, I didn't understand
Cause
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
Well I get into a card game in a company
town
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
