lyrics

About the time that Daddy went to fight the great war
I saw my first pistol in the general store
In the general store, when I was thirteen
I thought it was the finest thing I ever did seen

So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she nearly blew up
She nearly blew up, and she didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand

My first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
Shoots as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
It loads a mite slow, you can shoot a man down
It'll get you into trouble but it can't get you out

My next pistol was a Colt 45
Out was called a peacemaker but I never knew why
I never knew why, I didn't understand
Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama says the pistol is the devil's right hand

Got into a card game in a company town
I caught a miner cheating and I shot the dog down
I shot the dog down, watched the man fall
He never reached his holster, never had a chance to draw

The trial was in the morning and they took me out of bed
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
The hand that pulled the trigger was the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
The hand that pulled the trigger was the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
The hand that pulled the trigger was the devil's right hand

Track Dogs image

Track Dogs Madrid, Spain

Track Dogs are an acoustic four piece based in Spain but hail from Ireland, the US and UK.

Taking their name from the NY subway maintenance teams this closely-knit group of ex-pats have opted for Cajón instead of drums and trumpet in place of electric guitar. Four-part harmonies steal the show.
