Drinking beer in a cabaret
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
She kicked out my windshield
And she hit me over the head
She cussed and cried and said I lied
And wished that I was dead
Well 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
Till one night she shot out the lights
And bang that blonde was gone
So 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
And I'll be your regular daddy
If you put that gun away
And just lay that pistol down babe
Lay that pistol down pistol
Drinking beer in the cabaret
Was I having fun
Until one night she caught me right
And now I'm on the run
Well lay that pistol down babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama
Lay that pistol down
Well there was old al dexter
He always had his fun
But with some lead she shot him dead
And his humpin days are done
Oh 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
Lay that pistol down
I said lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down
Pistol packing mama lay that pistol down
