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]
