Pistol Packing Mama

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 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

Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down

Pistol Packing Mama lay that pistol down

Drinking beer in a cabaret and dancing 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 Packing Mama lay that pistol down

I’ll see you every night babe I’ll woo you every day

I’ll be your regular daddy if you’ll put that gun away

Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down

Pistol Packing Mama lay that pistol down

Now I went home this morning the clock was ticking four

Gun in her hand says you’re my man but I don’t need you no more

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 his honking days are done

Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down

Pistol Packing Mama lay that pistol down
