Song lyrics to Pistol Packin’ Mama by Al Dexter – the first “hit” country western song to top the Billboard popular music chart..

Verse 1
Drinking beer in a cabaret and was I having fun
Until one night
she caught me right
and now I’m on the run

[Refrain]
Lay that pistol down, babe – lay that pistol down
Pistol Packin’ Mama, lay that pistol down

Verse 2
She kicked out my windshield – she hit me over the head
She cussed and cried
and said I’d lied
and wished that I was dead

[Refrain]

Verse 3
Drinking beer in a cabaret and dancin’ with a blond
Until one night
she shot out the light
Bang! that blond was gone

[Refrain]

Verse 4
I’ll see you ev’ry night, babe – I’ll woo you ev’ry day
I’ll be your regular daddy – if you’ll put that gun away

[Refrain]

[repeating verse 1]

Drinking beer in a cabaret and was I having fun
Until one night
she caught me right
and now I’m on the run

[Refrain]

Verse 5
Now there was old Al Dexter – he always had his fun
But with some lead,
she shot him dead –
his honkin’ days are done

[Refrain]
