DEVIL'S RIGHT HAND

JOHNNY CASH

UNEARTHED II: TROUBLE IN MIND

E A E

Well about the time my Daddy left to fight the big war

B E

Saw my first pistol in the genereal store

E A E

In the general store when I was thirteen

B E

Thought it was the finest thing I ever did seen

Asked if I could have one when I grew up

Mama dropped a dozen eggs and she really blew up

She really blew up and I didn't understand

Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

CHORUS:

A E

She really blew up and I didn't understand

B E

Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

A E

The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand

B E

Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

My very first pistol was a cap 'n' ball Colt

Shoots as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mighty slow

Loads a mighty slow and I soon found out

It can get ya into trouble but it can't get you out

Then I went and bought my self a Colt 45

Called a peacemaker but I never knew why

I never knew why and I couldn't understand

'Cause Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

CHORUS:

I never knew why and I couldn't understand

Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand

Mama said the pistol is the Devil's right hand

I got into a card game in a company town

Caught a minor cheatin' and I shot the dog down

Shot the dog down watched the dog fall

Never touched his holster never had a chance to draw

Trial was in the mornin' and they drug me outta bed

Asked me how I pleaded not guilty I said

Not guilty I said you got the wrong man

'Cause nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand

CHORUS:

Not guilty I said, you got the wrong man

Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand

The Devil's right hand, the Devil's right hand

Nothin' touched the trigger but the Devil's right hand
