Pistol Packin' Mama

Pistol Packin' Mama - Al Dexter

Drinking beer in a cabaret

And was I having 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'd 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

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

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 I'm 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
