Pistol Packin' Mama

Drinking beer at the cabaret

And was I having fun

'Til one night she caught me right

And now I'm on the run

Lay that pistol down, babe

Lay that pistol down

Pistol packing mama

Lay that pistol down

She kicked out my windshield

She hit me over the head

She cussed and cried and said I'd lied

And wished that I was dead

Well, lay that pistol down, babe

Lay that pistol down

Pistol packing mama

Lay that pistol down

Drinking beer in the cabaret

And dancing with a blond

'Til one night she shot out the light

Bang, that blond was gone

So lay that pistol down, babe

Lay that pistol down

Pistol packing mama

Lay that pistol down

I'll sing you every night, babe

And I'll woo you every day

I'll be your regular daddy

If you'll put that gun away

And just lay that pistol down, babe

Lay that pistol down

Pistol packing mama

Lay that pistol down

Drinking beer at the cabaret

And was I having fun

'Til one night she caught me right

And now I'm on the run

Now, lay that pistol down, babe

Lay that pistol down

Pistol packing mama

Lay that pistol down

Now, there was old Al Dexter

He always had his fun

But with some lead, she shot him dead

And his honking days are done

Now, lay that pistol down, babe

Lay that pistol down

Pistol packing mama

Lay that pistol down

I said, "Lay that pistol down, babe

Lay that pistol down

Pistol packing mama"

I said, "Lay that pistol down"

I said, "Lay that pistol down, babe

Lay that pistol down

Pistol packing mama

Lay that pistol down"
