Charlie Walker - Pistol Packin' Mama lyrics

(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.

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...
