About the time my daddy left to fight the big war,
The general store, when I was thirteen,
Thought it was the finest [E] thing I ever had seen.
I asked if I could have one someday when I grew up,
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really [B] blew up,
She really blew up, and I didn't understand,
Mama said the pistol [E] is the devil's right hand,
