Tom: C
C G7
Drinking beer in a cabaret and was I having fun
C
Until one night she caught me right and now I'm on the run
[Chorus]
G7
Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down
C
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol down
[Verse]
C G7
She kicked out my windshield she hit me over the head
C
She cussed and cried and said I'd lied and wished that I was dead
[Chorus]
G7
Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down
C
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol down
[Verse]
G7
Drinking beer in a cabaret and dancing with a blond
C
Until one night she shot out the light bang that blond was gone
[Chorus]
G7
Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down
C
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol down
[Verse]
G7
I'll see you every night babe I'll woo you every day
C
I'll be your regular daddy if you'll put that gun away
[Chorus]
G7
Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down
C
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol down
[Verse]
G7
Now I went home this morning the clock was ticking four
C
Gun in her hand says you're my man but I don't need you no more
[Chorus]
G7
Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down
C
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol down
[Verse]
G7
Now there was old Al Dexter he always had his fun
C
But with some lead she shot him dead his honking days are done
[Chorus]
G7
Lay that pistol down babe lay that pistol down
C
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol down
