About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
                             B
I saw my first pistol in the general store
In the general store when I was thirteen
                                  E
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
E
I asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
                               B
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up
Really blew up, I didn't understand
                             E
Mama said,"The pistol is the devil's right hand"

A

Mama said, "The pistol
       E
Is the devil's right hand"

My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
Shoot as fast as lightning but she
B
loads a mite slow
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
It can get you into trouble but it
E
can't get you out
   E
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
                          B
Called a Peacemaker but I never knew why
Never knew why, I didn't understand
                              E
Mama said, "The pistol is the devil's right hand"

Well I get into a card game in a company town
                           C#
Caught a miner cheating, I shot the dog down
Shot the dog down, I watched the man fall
                                 F#
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw

My trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
                             C#
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
