Lyrics The Devil's Right Hand (Live) - Steve Earle
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
I
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
she
didn't
understand
Mama
said
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
My
very
first
pistol
was
a
cap
and
ball
Colt
Shoots
as
fast
as
lightnin'
but
it
loads
a
mite
slow
It
loads
a
mite
slow,
and
soon
I
found
out
It'll
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
I
never
knew
why,
I
didn't
understand
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
Got
into
a
card
game
in
a
company
town
I
caught
a
miner
cheating,
I
shot
the
dog
down
I
shot
the
dog
down,
I
watched
the
man
fall
He
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
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
