[Verse 1]
Drinking beer in a cabaret And I was having fun!
Until one night she caught me right, And now I'm on the run
[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down Babe, Lay that pistol down
Pistol Packing 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 lied, And I wished that I was dead
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Drinkin' beer in a cabaret, And dancing with a blonde
Until one night she shot out the light, Bang! That blonde was gone
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus][x2]
[Outro]
Now down there was old Al Dexter, He always had his fun
But with some lead. she shot him dead, His Honkin' days are done
