_ About the time my daddy left to fight the big war
Saw my first pistol in the general [B] store, in the general store
I was thirteen, thought it was a fine thing, [E] every hand same
I was a black level soldier when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen and she really blew up, really blew up
I didn't understand
Mama says a pistol is a devil's right hand, [A] devil's right hand, [E] devil's right hand
Mama says a pistol is a devil's right hand
My _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ very first pistol was a Captain Bob Cole
Shoot as fast as lightning but she knows [B] I'm not slow, knows I'm not slow
Soon I found out, get you into trouble [E] but it can't get you out
So then I went and bought myself a cold port of buy
Called a peacemaker but I never [B] knew why, never knew why
I didn't understand
Mama says a pistol [E] is a devil's right [A] hand, devil's right [E] hand, devil's right [B] hand
Mama says a pistol [E] is a devil's right [A] hand, devil's right [E] hand, devil's right [B] hand
Mama says a pistol [E] is a devil's right hand _ _ _ _ _

_ Well I [F#] got a two card game in a company town
Call a miner cheating, shot [C#] my dog down, shot my dog down
Watch a man fall, never touched his clothes, [F#] never had a chance to drop
I was in a mountain and they threw me out of bed
Asked me how I bleeded, I'm guilty [C#] I said, I'm guilty I said
Got me wrong man, doesn't touch a trigger [F#] but the devil's right hand, [B] devil's right hand, [F#] devil's right hand
[C#] Mama says a pistol [F#] is a devil's right hand, [B] devil's right hand, [F#] devil's right [C#] hand
Doesn't touch a trigger [F#] but the devil's right [B] hand
