Lyrics

[Verse 1] Drinking beer in a cabaret and was I having fun Until one night she caught me right and now I'm on the run [Refrain] Lay that pistol down, babe - lay that pistol down Pistol Packin' Mama, lay that pistol down [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] [Verse 3] Drinking beer in a cabaret and dancin' with a blond Until one night she shot out the light - Bang! that blond was gone [Refrain] [Verse 4] 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 [Refrain] [Verse 1] [Refrain] [Verse 5] Now there was old Al Dexter - he always had his fun But with some lead, she shot him dead - his honkin' days are done [Refrain]
