[Verse]
About the time my daddy left to fight in a puny war
I saw my first pistol in the general store
The general store, but I was fifteen
I thought it was the finest thing I ever have seen
I have to buy it someday when I grow up
Momma doesn't understand, she really threw up
She really threw up, she didn't understand
Momma said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

[Chorus]
The Devil's right hand
The Devil's right hand
Momma said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

[Verse]
My very first pistol was a captain Locka coat
Shoot as fast as lightning but it burst out my slope
But soon I found out
It can get you into troublе but it can get you out
About later year I got a Colt forty-fivе
Gonna be a wanker but I never knew why
I never knew why, I didn't understand

[Chorus]
The Devil's right hand
The Devil's right hand
Momma said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
The Devil's right hand
The Devil's right hand
Momma said the pistol is the Devil's right hand
[Verse]
Got into a card game at the come-along town
Called the man a cheater so he shot the man down
Yeah, I shot the dog down
I watched the creep fall
Never touched the door
Or had a chance to draw
The trouble's in the morning when he jogged out of bed
He pleaded - not guilty, I say!
Nor guilty, he said
You got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand

[Chorus]
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
