Steve Earle - The Devil's Right Hand Lyrics

Colt .45 peacemaker one the best guns ever made

awesome!

It can get ya into trouble but it can’t get ya out🤘🏻

Love this Dude. I consider him Kin Folk... The South will rise again...

One of the most under rated artists . Steve Earle your a star <3 from Australia

Johnny Cash's version is the best, by far.

💙💙💙

Awsome song 2019

Big government says the pistol is the devil's right hand

Oh, and it's telling that "Momma said the pistol is the devil's right hand" and not dad. Dad was probably rational and knew it was the finger, not the pistol. Mom was just emoting and injecting voodoo into an inanimate object, as blubbering emotional people do.

This guy sucks at singing this one

"shot the dauuwwg doouuwwenn" 1:59

Hahaha syllables can be generated out of no where with Steve 😝

Terrific song.

I love singing this one at the top of my lungs  at work,even went dressed as steve earle once to a Halloween party with entertainer theme

How cool.

Waylon did the best version.

Just an amazing man, songs are about life, real life. The best

Što je sa princezom moje vrele mladosti

A great songwriter, but I perfer Johnny Cash's cover of this song.

From the movie "Betrayed"..(1988)

Thomas Sergeant great movie I still have the vhs lol

cap and ball load a might slow.. no big deal you just need three or four.

he really was great before he became a pussy.

I'm a Nra member and this song pussies me off.But at the same time this is one of my favorite songs....grrrr

The 1988 movie *Betrayed* brought me here...Love it!

Jane Smith good movie

Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand.

What was what it was !

WTF is this shit? hahahaa

great tune!!!!

It's THE MUSIC, forget the politics and all of the other NONSENSE!

Johnny cash is better

+Ray I guess it's subjective, even if you're wrong XD I'm joking :)

@Arthur Morgan, Formerly 4th Chairman No worries. I totally agree with you that taste in music is subjective but I do like my songs with a little bite in them like Copperhead Road, I ain't ever satisfied and the rains came down etc. Do love Johnny but he was just a tad before my time. :)

+Ray This is before my time actually, so Johnny is way before my time. Though I am obsessed with the guy, so much so that I named my acoustic "Johnny", posed as him with a black suit jacket and sunglasses, and just generally wish to obtain memorabilia in the future XD This sounds pretty alright though, good tune, good vocals.

@Arthur Morgan, Formerly 4th Chairman You can't go wrong with Johnny. Excellent choice buddy.

Better than what??

Johnny Cash's version is better

Love the censorship here in canada...

That's what you get when you're a subject instead of a citizen. Ironic, really.

Steve Earle is an awesome singer songwriter..one of the best!

Agree big time but he did not write this one.......

@Buck Fama You are wrong there. This is Steve's song, and he recorded it long before Cash did. Waylon's cover was released before Steve's though, based on a demo he did.

sometimes u have to walk with the devil hand in hand to the right thing.

amazing song

did anyone else notice the one picture is the lyrics to copperhead road?

Great song...not played near enough!  Rock on, Steve!

Kids need to listen to Mama

Web Wilder does a very good cover of this song!

Is the Webster still around? Me being a Nashville native, he was always in the view several years ago....

Idk why but prefer screwdriver version better.

Still sounds so crisp and clean. Great record.

I like a lot of his songs but i wish I could realize, its when you take away liberty that you will really find out about which is the the devils hand. The indoctrinated killer could use either right or left as history shows. I'll stand by my God given rights and the devil that comes to try and take them better have a quick hand. Which ever ones he chooses to use.

Park Yoo that's the point. you can draw them fast and live. just because you draw it out fast doesn't mean you pull the trigger until your on target. You shouldn't even put your finger in the trigger guard until your on target. here's the deal. someone breaks in your house you have 2 shots to squeeze off and it's not going to spread and clear the the room unless you live in a mansion. I hope your using buckshot. A slug will go through and though and through the walls. The point here is if you know how to use your pistol or revolver it's going do a better job keeping you alive than a double barrel. if you miss your out of rounds. What if there are multiple intruders and by the time you come out with that long thing which henders your ability to move around you have them in a corner. I think I'll go for my 18 rounds over 2. I'm not picking on you I just want you to think practically and not with emotion. Stay alive.

I happen to be a drunk with a temper, so pistols are just a bad idea for me hehehe

Roger that.

very true.

Play it at 1.25x speed, that's the speed he plays it at live. Much better imo.

Absolutely! Used to be you had to speed the LP up, and just deal with the chipmunk voice. Now it's an easy click with a tiny bit of artifacting

What speed did Johnny Cash Play it at

More like it, thnx

Covered I love Steve Earle

Brilliant. No other way to describe what Steve did, here... always loved this, the lofty swing of the tune plus the incredible lyrics, holy hot damn... who writes a song about the various kinds of gun? Steve Earle is a genius, for sure. Saw him many a time in Ottawa, Canada....

My bad, you are correct! Steve Earle DID write this one, enjoy!

It is one of his best!

yeah he did

Jonathan Burgan this is Steve's song so.....

Yeah, I hate smart people!

I guess it good your not very smart. Otherwise you'd have to hate yourself.

The Seatsniffers have a great studio versión too.

best song :)

even though Steve Earle is a southern traitor i still enjoy his music

the truth has many sides im for freedom of whatever there s a price to pay for that but he isnt a traitor he is better than most cause he i expressing a side of the truth or at least a different point of view

Google sucks

+Barkley Henson - And how's that working out for you so far?

Oh the irony in calling Steve Earle a Commie, considering the Trump family's links to Russia!

Why is Steve a southern traitor?

Hell yeah

definitely enjoyed it! thanks for uploading ☺

Brokeback Mountain.

Not the same version, though. He re-recorded it for the movie.

Cool song!!

Mama says the pistol is the devils right hand

fucking good song

@Zeb VanZandt this song isn't good IT'S GREAT!

Johnny cash is better

Give Waylon's a listen and   also the Highway men's version too

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

love this song for a very long time :)

Best song ever!

Well done.  Great song.
