Lyrics
She's a Pistol
I. He met that lady in a smokey back room in Hot Springs.
House was dealin' shady. A player's hand got five queens.
She cold cocked that cheatin' fool.
She gave a lesson in th' roadhouse school.
(Chorus)
She's a pistol with a shotgun on th' top.
She's a pistol. Yeah, she's all that.
She's a pistol with a shotgun on th' top.
She's a pistol and she's all that. She's all that. She's all that. She's all that.
(Turnaround)
II. Her first reaction is to open up a can a whoop-ass!
She gets satisfaction. Revenge is served up real fast.
Don't you mess with that little girl.
She's just like her daddy. She rules her world.
(Chorus)
She's a pistol with a shotgun on th' top.
She's a pistol. Yeah, she's all that.
She's a pistol with a shotgun on th' top.
She's a pistol and she's all that. She's all that. She's all that. She's all that.
III. She played high stakes poker, on a paddle wheel docked in New Orleans.
Nothin' wild, but jokers. Th' game was gettin' real mean.
Then she bluffed and he's outta stash.
He folded up his cards and she won th' cash.
(Chorus)
She's a pistol with a shotgun on th' top.
She's a pistol. Yeah, she's all that.
She's a pistol with a shotgun on th' top.
She's a pistol and she's all that. She's all that. She's all that. She's all that.
IV. He booked a stateroom for Mr. and Mrs. Incognito.
She snuck in real cool. Just layin' low, so who knows?
He sets up those blowhard gents.
They lose their money even 'fore it's bet.
(Chorus)
She's a pistol with a shotgun on th' top.
She's a pistol. Yeah, she's all that.
She's a pistol with a shotgun on th' top.
She's a pistol and she's all that. She's all that. She's all that. She's all that.
(Tag) She's a pistol. She's a pistol. She's a pistol. She's a pistol.
