Never flirt with a [Incomprehensible], down old Texas way   'Cause if you do, I'm telling you this is what you'll have to say   "Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama, lay that pistol down"      I was singing songs in a cabaret and I was having fun   Until one night I didn't sing right and now I'm on the run   Why don't you lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama, lay that pistol down      Listen to the story of a red haired jack name Fake   She shot her pistol in the air and she hit me in the leg   Lay that pistol down, babe, put that pistol down   Pistol packin' mama, please lay that pistol down
