I was cutting the rug down at a place called
The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said,"Hey there fellow,with the hair colored
yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?'Cause that's 'a my
woman there
And I'm a man who cares and this might be all
for you."
I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean and mean and big and bad,
A'pointin' that gun at me.
Oh "Wait a minute, mister,I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me but I wish you'd
let me
Ask one favor from you."
Chorus
Won't you give me three steps,gimme three steps
mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps,Gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see me no more."
Well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
As the water fell on the floor.
And I'm a'telling you son,it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming from a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.
