Verses:
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.
 
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 pis-tol down, Babe, Lay that pis-tol down,
Pis-tol pack-in' ma-ma, Lay that pis-tol down!
