I'm a pistol packing papa And when I walk down the street You can hear those mamas shoutin' Don't turn your gun on me! Now girls, I'm just a good guy And I'm goin' to have my fun And if you don't wanna smell my smoke Don't monkey with my gun! Like a hobo when he's hungry Like a drunk man when he's full I'm a pistol packing papa I know how to shoot the bull The hold-up men all know me And they sure leave me be I'm a pistol packin' papa And I ramble where I please When I have that funny feeling That lorryin' ramblers call I swing aboard some freight train And I shoot my pistol off
Sometimes one shot will do me Sometimes takes four or five Sometimes I shoot all around Before I'm satisfied When you hear my pistol poppin' You better hide yourself some place Cause I ain't made it for stoppin' And I come from a shootin' race My sweetheart understands me She says I am her big shot I'm her pistol packin' daddy And I know I've got the drop You can hear my new sport roadster You can take my hard-boil head But you can't never take from me My silver-mounted gad I'm a pistol packin papa I'm goin' to have my fun Just fallow me and you will hear The bangin' of my gun
