Drink-in' beer in a cab-a-ret,__
And was I hav - in' fun !
Un - til one night she caught me right,__
And now I'm on the run.

[Chorus] Lay that pis-tol down, Babe,
Lay that pis-tol down,
Pis-tol Pack-in' Ma-ma,
Lay that pis-tol down!

She kicked out my__ wind-shield,___
She hit me o-ver the head,
She cussed and cried and said I'd lied,__
And wished that I was dead.

[Chorus] Lay that pis-tol down, Babe,
Lay that pis-tol down,
Pis-tol Pack-in' Ma-ma,
Lay that pis-tol down!

Drink-in' beer in a cab-a-ret,__
And danc-ing with   a   blonde,
Un - til one night she shot out the light,__
Bang! that blonde  was  gone.

[Chorus] Lay that pis-tol down, Babe,
Lay that pis-tol down,
Pis-tol Pack-in' Ma-ma,
Lay that pis-tol down!
