Lyrics:

Drinking beer in a cabaret
And was I having fun
Until one night she caught me right
And now Im 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 Id lied
And wished that I was dead

Lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin mama
Lay that pistol down

Drinking beer in a cabaret
And dancin with a blond
Until one night she shot out the light
Bang, that blond was gone

Lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin mama
Lay that pistol down

Ill see you evry night, babe
Ill woo you evry day
Ill be your regular daddy
If youll put that gun away

Lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin mama
Lay that pistol down

Drinking beer in a cabaret
And was I having fun
Until one night she caught me right
And now Im on the run

Lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin mama
Lay that pistol down

Now there was old Al Dexter
He always had his fun
But with some lead, she shot him dead
His honkin days are done

Lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin mama
Lay that pistol down
