Verse 1
left to fight the big war
In the general store when
I was thirteen
Thought it was the finest
L asked if I could have one
someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs,
Really blew up, I didn't understand
Mama said,"The pistol is
My very first pistol was
a cap and ball Colt
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
It can get you into trouble but
So then I went and
bought myself a Colt 45
Called a Peacemaker but
Never knew why, I didn't understand
Mama said,

Well I get into a card game
in a company town
Caught a miner cheating,
Shot the dog down,
I watched the man fall
Never touched his holster,

The trial was in the morning and they
[Incomprehensible] me out of bed
Asked me how I pleaded,
"Not guilty", I said,
you've got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger but
