Devil's Right Hand

UNEARTHED II: TROUBLE IN MIND E A E Well about the time my Daddy left to fight the big war B E Saw my first pistol in the genereal store E A E In the general store when I was thirteen B E Thought it was the finest thing I ever did seen Asked if I could have one when I grew up Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she really blew up She really blew up and I didn't understand Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand CHORUS: A E She really blew up and I didn't understand B E Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand A E The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand B E Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand My very first pistol was a cap 'n' ball Colt Shoots as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mighty slow Loads a mighty slow and I soon found out It can get ya into trouble but it can't get you out Then I went and bought my self a Colt 45 Called a peacemaker but I never knew why I never knew why and I couldn't understand 'Cause Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand CHORUS: I never knew why and I couldn'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 I got into a card game in a company town Caught a minor cheatin' and I shot the dog down Shot the dog down watched the dog fall Never touched his holster never had a chance to draw Trial was in the mornin' and they drug me outta bed Asked me how I pleaded not guilty I said Not guilty I said you got the wrong man 'Cause nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand CHORUS: Not guilty I said, you got the wrong man Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand
