Drinking beer in a cabaret and was I having fun

Until one night she caught me right and now I'm on the run.

Pistol packing mama, lay that pistol down.

She kicked out my windshield, she hit me over the head.
She cussed and cried and said I'd lied and 
wished that I was dead.
Lay that pistol down, Babe...etc.

Drinking beer in a cabaret and dancing with a blonde.
Until one night she shot out the lights--bang, 
that blonde was gone.
Lay that pistol down, Babe...etc.

I'll see you ev'ry night, Bab, I'll wow you every day.
I'll be your reg'lar daddy if you'll put that gun away.
Lay that pistol down....etc.

And on and on.  Make up your own verses.
