Drinkin' beer in a cabaret And I was havin' 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 I wished that I was dead

Lay that pistol down Babe, Lay that pistol down,
Pistol Packin' Mama, Lay that pistol down

Drinkin' 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 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
Lay that pistol down Babe, Lay that pistol down,
Pistol Packin' Mama, Lay that pistol down
