[C] About the time my [G] daddy left to fight the big war
I saw my first pistol in the general [D] store
In the general store
The clobberster came
I thought it was the finest thing [G] I ever had seen
So I asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs
She really [D] blew up
Yes, she really blew up
She didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is [G] the devil's right [C] hand
The devil's right hand
The [G] devil's right [D] hand
Mama said the pistol [G] is the devil's right hand
In me first pistol was a cap and ball coat
Shoot as fast as lightning but it blows [D] a mile slow
It blows a mile slow
Soon I found out
It'll get you into trouble [G] but it can't get you out
About a year later got a Colt .45
Called a peacemaker but I never [D] knew why
I never knew why
I didn't understand

[G]
Shot into a card game in a Cumberland town
[C] Caught a minor cheating [D] so I shot the dog down
Shot the dog down
Watched the man fall
Never took his host and [G] never had a chance to call
Five hours in the morning and they put me out of bed
Asked me how I made it
Not guilty [D] I said
Not guilty I said
You got the wrong man
Nothing test or trigger [G] but the devil's right hand
[C] The devil's right hand
The devil's [G] right hand
[D] Nothing test or trigger [G] but the devil's right hand
