The Devil's Right Hand  Steve Earle






 


 "Transcribe" sanoma at onewest.net


 [(1)](E)"bout the time my daddy left to fight the big war.


 (E)I saw my first pistol in the,


 (B)General store,the general store I was fourteen thought


 (B)it was the finest thing


 (E)I ever did see.


 (E)Asked if I could have it someday when I grew up.


 (E)Mama dropped the pistol and she


 (B)nearly threw up, nearly threw up, I didn't understand


 (B)Mama said the pistol is the


 (E)devil's right hand.


 


 [(2)](A)The devil's right hand,the


 (E)devils right hand Mama said the pistol,


 (E)is the(B)devil's right(E)hand.


 [(3)]My very first pistol was a cap and ball colt.


 Shoot as fast as lightnin'but she'd load a might slow.


 Load a might slow .I soon 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.


 It was called a peace maker,but i never knew why.


 Never knew why, I didn't understand.


 Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand.


 (repeat 2)


 [(4)]Well I got into a card game with a couple in town,


 Caught a body cheatin' and I shot the dog down.


 I shot the dog down,watched the man fall.


 Never touched his holster,never had a chance to draw.


 Early in the morning and they drug me outta bed,


 Asked me how i pleaded,not guilty isaid


 Not guilty I said,you got the wrong man.


 Nothin touched the trigger but the devils own hand.


 (repeat 2)
