The Devil's Right Hand

The Devil's Right Hand 歌詞
About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
大概是在爸爸離去參加大戰的時候
I saw my first pistol in the general store
在雜貨店裡,我第一次看到了手槍
In the general store, when I was thirteen
在雜貨店裡,那時我十三歲
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
我想這是我見過的最美妙的東西
So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
於是我問媽媽當我長大了能否擁有一把手槍
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up
媽媽聽後打碎了十幾個雞蛋,大發脾氣
She really blew up and I didn't understand
她真的生氣極了,當時我並不理解
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
媽媽說手槍是魔鬼的右手
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
魔鬼的右手魔鬼的右手
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
媽媽說手槍是魔鬼的右手
My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
我的第一支手槍是一把柯爾特左輪手槍
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
它的射擊速度快如閃電,但上膛有些慢
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
它上膛有些慢,不久我便發現
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
它能讓人陷入困境,卻無法助人擺脫
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
於是我又買了一把點四五柯爾特手槍
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why
我不明白為什麼它被稱作“和平使者”
Never knew why, I didn't understand
一直不知道原因,我一點兒也不理解
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
因為媽媽說過手槍是魔鬼的右手
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
魔鬼的右手魔鬼的右手
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
媽媽說手槍是魔鬼的右手
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
魔鬼的右手魔鬼的右手
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
媽媽說手槍是魔鬼的右手
Well I get into a card game in a company town
一次我到一個企業的家屬生活區玩兒牌
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down
發現一個曠工出老千,我開槍擊倒了那條耍賴的狗
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall
擊倒了那條耍賴的狗,看著他倒下了
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
他根本沒有機會去掏出手槍,甚至沒有機會觸碰槍套
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
審訊就在次日上午,他們把我從床上拖起來
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
問我還有什麼需要為自己辯護嗎,我說我沒犯罪
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
我說我沒犯罪,你們抓錯人了
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
我沒有開槍,扣動扳機的是魔鬼的右手
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
魔鬼的右手魔鬼的右手
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
媽媽說手槍是魔鬼的右手
The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
魔鬼的右手魔鬼的右手
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
媽媽說手槍是魔鬼的右手
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand
媽媽說手槍是魔鬼的右手
