(Al Dexter)      Drinkin' beer in a cabaret   And was I havin' 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 caussed and cried and said   I'd lied and wished I was dead.      Lay that pistol down babe   Lay that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama   Lay that pistol down.      Drinkin' beer in a cabaret   And dancin' with a blonde   Until one night she shot out the light   Bang that blonde was gone.      Lay that pistol down babe   Lay that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama   Lay that pistol down.      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.      Lay that pistol down babe   Lay that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama   Lay that pistol down.      --- Instrumental ---      There was old Charlie Walker   He always had his fun   But with some lead she shot him dead   His honkin' days are gone.      Lay that pistol down babe   Lay that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama   Lay that pistol down.      Lay that pistol down babe   Lay that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama   Lay that pistol down.      Lay that pistol down babe   Lay that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama   Lay that pistol down...
