Hoyt Axton - Pistol Packin' Mama lyrics

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
I was drinkin' beer in a cabaret
Thought I was 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 cussed and cried, and said I lied
And wished that I was dead
Lay that pistol down Babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama, Lay that pistol down
I was raisin' cain in a cabaret
And dancing 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
Yeah the moral of this story is
If you wanna have some fun
Make sure that your sweet mama
Don't have a loaded gun
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
