the return of Pistol Packin' Mama

Start

Verse 1

There's whispers in the town and rumors all around

About a gal who's known to cause a scene

She left some time ago with hearts in disarray

But now she's comin' back to make hearts gleam

Pre-Chorus

They say her aim is true and steady as can be

She's got a swagger that you can't deny

The fellas better hide their hearts away tonight

'Cause when she looks at you, you'll say goodbye[Chorus]

She's back in town, that Pistol Packin' Mama

Watch your step, boys, she's looking for some fun

With that six-shooter hanging from her hip

She's got every fella on the run

Post-Chorus

Oh yes she's back (She's back)

Better watch your back (Watch your back)

Verse 2

Down at the dance hall Saturday night

The band was playing sweet and low

Then through the door she made her grand entrance

And every heart skipped a beat or so

Pre-Chorus

The fellas all stood frozen in their tracks

As she sashayed across the floor

That smile of hers could melt the coldest heart

But that pistol's what they all adore

Chorus

She's back in town, that Pistol Packin' Mama

Watch your step, boys, she's looking for some fun

With that six-shooter hanging from her hip

She's got every fella on the run

Post-Chorus

Oh yes she's back (She's[Bridge]

Now the sheriff's getting nervous

And the mayor's in a fright

Since our Pistol Packin' lady

Came back to town last night

The saloons are twice as busy

As the boys all gather 'round

Just to catch a glimpse of trouble

When that lady hits the town

Verse 3

She's got a way of walking, talking, stealing glances

That makes the toughest fellas weak

She doesn't need that pistol for protection

It's just her style, her special mystique

Pre-Chorus

The ladies look with envy at her fashion

The gentlemen all tip their hats with care

She's got this town wrapped 'round her little finger

And not a soul among us seems to care

Chorus

She's back in town, that Pistol Packin' Mama

Watch your step, boys, she's looking for some fun

With that six-shooter hanging from her hip

She's got every fella on the run

Post-Chorus

Oh yes she's back (She's back)

Better watch your back (Watch your back)

She's the talk of the town (Talk of the town)

Pistol Packin' Mama's[Verse 4]

She's made quite a stir since her grand return

The mayor's thrown a welcome home soiree

The local boys are lining up to dance with her

While keeping one eye on the exit way

Pre-Chorus

They say she's got her sights on someone special

A fella who once broke her tender heart

She's come to settle scores and maybe more

And finish what she started from the start

Chorus

She's back in town, that Pistol Packin' Mama

Watch your step, boys, she's looking for some fun

With that six-shooter hanging from her hip

She's got every fella on the run

Post-Chorus

Oh yes she's back (She's back)

Better watch your back (Watch your back)

Here to stay this time (Stay this time)

Pistol Packin' Mama's in[Verse 5]

The local paper's got her face on every page

The radio announces her return

She's got the whole town buzzing with excitement

A lesson that some fellas never learn

Pre-Chorus

They say she's bought the old saloon on Main Street

And turned it to a dancing hall deluxe

Where every night the music plays till sunrise

And fellas line their pockets with their bucks

Chorus

She's back in town, that Pistol Packin' Mama

Watch your step, boys, she's looking for some fun

With that six-shooter hanging from her hip

She's got every fella on the run

Post-Chorus

Oh yes she's back (She's back)

Better watch your back (Watch your back)

Queen of hearts and spades (Hearts and spades)

Pistol Packin' Mama's got it made

Outro

So tip your hat and mind your manners

When that lady walks on by

'Cause Pistol Packin' Mama's here to stay

And that's no lie

[End][Verse 6]

The boys all wonder who will win her favor

As Pistol Packin' Mama reigns supreme

She's got them all competing for attention

While she enjoys their antics with a gleam

Pre-Chorus

She's opened up a shooting range behind the dance hall

Where gentlemen can try to match her aim

But none have yet to beat her perfect record

Which only adds more luster to her fame

Chorus

She's back in town, that Pistol Packin' Mama

Watch your step, boys, she's looking for some fun

With that six-shooter hanging from her hip

She's got every fella on the run

Post-Chorus

Oh yes she's back (She's back)

Better watch your back (Watch your back)

Here to rule the roost (Rule the roost)

Pistol Packin' Mama's on the loose

Final Chorus

She's back in town, that Pistol Packin' Mama

The queen of hearts has claimed her rightful throne

With that six-shooter hanging from her hip

She's made this little town her very own

End
