Pistol Packin’ Papa Jimmie Rodgers

I'm a pistol packin' 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 going 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 packin' 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 lorrying rambler's call
I swing aboard some freight train
And I shoot my pistol off

Sometimes one shot will do me
Sometime takes four or five
Sometimes I shoot all around
Before I'm satisfied
