Pistol Packin Mama

C                                 
Drinking beer in a cabaret and was
          G7
 I having fun
Until one night she caught me right 
                   C
and now I'm on the run

[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down babe lay that 
       G7
pistol down
                                C
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol 
down

[Verse]
C                                 
She kicked out my windshield she 
               G7
hit me over the head
She cussed and cried and said I'd 
                           C
lied and wished that I was dead

[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down babe lay that 
       G7
pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol 
C
down

[Verse]
Continues after the ad
Drinking beer in a cabaret and 
               G7
dancing with a blond
Until one night she shot out the 
                          C
light bang that blond was gone

[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down babe lay that 
       G7
pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol 
C
down

[Verse]
I'll see you every night babe I'll 
              G7
woo you every day
I'll be your regular daddy if you'll
              C
 put that gun away

[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down babe lay that 
       G7
pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol 
C
down

[Verse]
Now I went home this morning the 
                  G7
clock was ticking four
Gun in her hand says you're my man 
                        C
but I don't need you no more

[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down babe lay that 
       G7
pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol 
C
down

[Verse]
Now there was old Al Dexter he 
               G7
always had his fun
But with some lead she shot him dead
                      C
 his honking days are done

[Chorus]
Lay that pistol down babe lay that 
       G7
pistol down
Pistol Packin' Mama lay that pistol 
C
down
