The Highwaymen - The Devil's Right Hand

(Johnny Cash:)

'Bout the time that Daddy left to fight the big war

I saw my first pistol in the general store

The general store, when I was thirteen

Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen

(Willie Nelson:)

I asked if I could have one some day 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

(All:)

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand

Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand

(Kris Kristofferson:)

My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt

Shoots like lightnin' but it loads a mite slow

It loads a mite slow, and soon I found out

Gets you into trouble but it can't get you out

(Waylon Jennings:)

So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45

Called a peacemaker but I never knew why

I never knew why, I didn't understand

Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand

(All:)

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand

Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand

Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand

(Waylon Jennings:)

I got into a card game in a company town

I caught a miner cheating, I shot the dog down

(Willie Nelson:)

I shot the dog down, I watched the man fall

He never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw

(Kris Kristofferson:)

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

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

Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
