Lyrics

Drinking beer in a cabaret and was I having fun Until one night she caught me right And now I'm on the run Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down Pistol Packin' 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 Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down Pistol Packin' Mama, lay that pistol down Drinking beer in a cabaret and dancin' with a blond Until one night she shot out the light Bang, That blond was gone Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down Pistol Packin' Mama, lay that pistol down I'll see you ev'ry night, babe, I'll woo you ev'ry day I'll be your regular daddy, if you'll put that gun away Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down Pistol Packin' Mama, lay that pistol down Drinking beer in a cabaret and was I having fun Until one night she caught me right And now I'm on the run Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down Pistol Packin' Mama, lay that pistol down Now there was old Al Dexter, he always had his fun But with some lead, she shot him dead, his honkin' days are done Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down Pistol Packin' Mama, lay that pistol down
