- Verses:
- Drinking beer in a cabaret,
And was I havin' fun!
- Until one night she caught
me right, And now I'm on the run.
-
- 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.
-
- Drinking beer in a cabaret,
And dancing with a blonde.
Until one night she shot out the light - BANG! That blonde was
gone.
-
- I’ll see you every
night, babe, I’ll woo you every day.
I’ll be your reg’lar daddy If you put that gun away.
-
- Chorus:
- Lay that pistol down, Babe,
Lay that pistol down,
- Pistol packin' mama, Lay
that pistol down!
