About the time my daddy left to fight the big war,
Saw my first pistol in the general [B]
store,
The general store, when I was thirteen,
Thought it was the [E] finest 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, I didn't understand,
Mama said the pistol [E] is the devil's right hand,
[A] The devil's right hand, [E] the devil's right hand,
[B] Mama said the pistol [E] is the devil's right hand.

My very first pistol was a cap and ball coat,
Shoes light and lighted, but it loads [B] a match load,
Loads a match load, and I soon found out,
Get you into trouble, [E] but it can't get you out.
So then I went and bought myself a coat, forty-five,
Haul the piece, make a fret, I never [B] knew why,
I never knew why, I didn't understand,
Mama said the pistol [E] is the devil's right [A] hand,
The devil's right hand, [E] the devil's right hand,
[B] Mama said the pistol [E] is the devil's right hand,
[A] The devil's right hand, [E] the devil's right hand,
[B] Mama said the pistol [E] is the devil's right hand.

I got into a car game in a Cumberland town, caught a minor cheating and I shot the dog down.
[C#] Shot the dog down, what's the man for?
Never touched his holster, [F#] never had a chance to draw.
The job was in the morning and they drug me out of bed, asked me how I bleeded, not guilty [C#] I _ _ _ said.
You got the wrong man, nothin' touched the trigger but [F#] the devil's right hand.
[B] The devil's right hand, [F#] the devil's right hand [C#] Nothin' touched the trigger but [F#] the devil's right hand.
[B] The devil's right hand, [F#] the devil's right hand [C#] Nothin' touched the trigger but [F#] the devil's right [B] hand.
