About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war

I saw my first pistol in the general store
在杂货店里,我第一次看到了手枪
In the general store, when I was thirteen

Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen

So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
于是我问妈妈 当我长大了能否拥有一把手枪
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up
妈妈听后打碎了十几个鸡蛋,大发脾气
She really blew up and I didn't understand
她真的生气极了,当时我并不理解
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand

My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
我的第一支手枪是一把柯尔特左轮手枪
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
它的射击速度快如闪电,但上膛有些慢
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
它上膛有些慢,不久我便发现
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
它能让人陷入困境,却无法助人摆脱
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
于是我又买了一把点四五柯尔特手枪
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why
我不明白为什么它被称作“和平使者”
Never knew why, I didn't understand
一直不知道原因,我一点儿也不理解
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

Well I get into a card game in a company town
一次我到一个企业的家属生活区玩儿牌
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down
发现一个旷工出老千,我开枪击倒了那条耍赖的狗
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall

Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
他根本没有机会去掏出手枪,甚至没有机会触碰枪套
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
审讯就在次日上午,他们把我从床上拖起来
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
问我还有什么需要为自己辩护吗,我说我没犯罪
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
我说我没犯罪,你们抓错人了
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
