[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
[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down
Lay that pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama
Lay that pistol down
[Verse 2]
Drinking beer in a cabaret
And dancin' with a blonde
Till one night she shot out the light
Damn! That blond was gone
[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down
Lay that pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama
Lay that pistol down
[Verse 3]
Charlie was a good old boy
Liked to have his fun
But with some lead she shot him dead
His good old days are done
[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down
Lay that pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama
Lay that pistol down
[Verse 4]
I’ll wine and dine you every night
I’ll woo you everyday
I’ll be your sugar daddy
If you put that gun away
[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down
Lay that pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama
Lay that pistol down
[Verse 3]
Charlie was a good old boy
Liked to have his fun
With some lead she shot him dead
His good old days are done
[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down
Lay that pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama
Lay that pistol down
[Verse 1]
Drinking beer in a cabaret
And was I havin’ fun
Till one night she caught me right
Now I’m on the run
[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down
Lay that pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama
Lay that pistol down
