Name: The Devils Right Hand
Duration: P00H02M13S
Description: i wrote this song back in winter of 2018. I was inspired by old America folk songs like "Man of Constant Sorrow" & "House of The Rising Sun". I tried to capture that early folk/blues feel by stripping back my sound to just my acoustic guitar, vocals, and my stompbox tapping out a beat.

lyrics

Some say he's made of steel
Others say he's made of more
They say he was born in hell fire
Down by the earths core

He'll kill you where you stand
Call him the devils right hand

He hunts men for money
He'll hunt them down for less
If you need to do some killing
Then you better hirer the best.

He'll kill you where you stand
Call him the devils right hand

Don't you try running
Ain't no use trying to hide
He'll find you right quickly
And he'll surely skin your hide

He'll kill you where you stand
Call him the devils right hand

Now you better heed my warning
If you value your life
Don't go doing no evil
Or he'll hunt you day and night

He'll kill you where you stand
Call him the devils right hand
He'll kill you where you stand
Call him the devils right hand
