Pistol Packin Mama lyrics

Artist  : Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters 
Song : Pistol Packin Mama
 


Lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol
down
Pistol packin' mama
Lay that pistol
down

Oh, drinkin' beer in a cabaret
Was
I havin' fun
Until one night she caught me
right
And now I'm on the run

Oh, lay
that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol
down
Pistol packin' mama
Lay that pistol
down

Oh, I see you every night,
Bing
And I'll woo you every day
I'll be
your regular mama
And I'll put that gun
away

Oh, lay that pistol down, babe
Lay
that pistol down
Pistol packin' mama
Lay
that thing down before it goes off and hurts
somebody

Oh, she kicked out my
windshield
And she hit me over the head
She
cussed and cried and said I'd lied
And she
wished that I was dead

Oh, lay that pistol
down, babe
Lay that pistol down
Pistol
packin' mama
Lay that pistol down

We're
three tough gals
From deep down Texas way
We
got no pals
They don't like the way we
play
We're a rough rootin' tootin' shootin'
trio
But you oughta see my sister
Cleo
She's a terror, make no error, but there
ain't no lassie fairer
Here's what we tell
'er

Lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that
pistol down
Pistol packin' mama
Lay that
pistol down

------ instrumental break
------

Pappy made a batch o' corn
The
revenuers came
Their draw was slow so now they
know
You can't do that to Mame

Oh, lay
that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol
down
Pistol packin' mama
Lay that pistol
down

Oh, singin' songs in the
cabaret
Was I havin' fun
Until one night, I
didn't sing right
Now I'm on the run

Oh,
lay that pistol down, babe
Lay that pistol
down
Pistol packin' mama
Lay that pistol
down
Oh, pistol packin' mama
Lay that
pistol down
