Pistol Packin’ Mama Songtext
von Willie Nelson

Drinkin beer in a cabaret
Was I havin fun!
′Til 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

Well, 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
′Til one night she shot out the lights
And bang that blonde was gone

So, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin′ mama
Lay that pistol down

I'll see you every night babe
And I′ll woo you every day
And I'll be your reg′lar daddy
If you'll put that gun away

And just, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin′ mama
Lay that pistol down

Drinkin beer in a cabaret
And was I havin fun!
'Til one night she caught me right
And now I'm on the run


Well, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin′ mama
Lay that pistol down

Well, there was old Al Dexter
He always had his fun
But, with some lead she shot him dead
Now his honkin′ days are done

Oh, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin mama
Lay that pistol down

I said, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin mama
I say lay that pistol down

I say, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol packin mama
Lay that pistol down.
