[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
