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 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 dancing with a blonde.

Until one night she shot out the light - BANG! That blonde was gone.

Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down.

Pistol packin' mama, lay that pistol down.



I'll see you every night, babe, I'll woo you every day.

I'll be your reg'lar daddy, if you 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.
