The Devil's Right Hand

Devil's Right Hand (Webb...spoken) "We have never deliberately enjoyed any association with satanism, the occult Jimmy Page's photo collection, Mephistophiles, Beelzebub The reason we'd like to make this disclaimer is because the next musical composition Is called the Devil's Right Hand." Bout the time that daddy went to fight the great war I saw my first pistol in the general store The general store when I was thirteen I thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen I asked if I could have one someday when I grew up Momma dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up She really blew up, she didn't understand Momma said a pistol is the devil's right hand The Devil's right hand The Devil's right hand Momma says a pistol is the devil's right hand Well, my first pistol was a cap and ball Colt It shoots as fast as lightnin', it loads a might slow Loads a might slow, I shoulda found out It'll get you into trouble but it can't get you out Bout a year later got a Colt .45 They called it Peacemaker, I never knew why Never knew why, I didn't understand Momma says a pistol is the devil's right hand The Devil's right hand The Devil's right hand Momma says a pistol is the devil's right hand Well I got into a card game in a company town I caught a man cheatin', I shot the dog down Shot the dog down, watched the man fall Never touched his holster, never had the chance to draw The trial was in the morning and they drug me outta bed They asked me how I pleaded Not Guilty I said Not Guilty I said, you got the wrong man Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand The Devil's right hand The Devil's right hand Momma says a pistol is the devil's right hand The Devil's right hand The Devil's right hand Momma says a pistol is the devil's right hand
