Gimme Three Steps Edit

I was cutting a rug

Down at a place called Jug

With a girl named Linda Lu

When in walked a man

With a gun in his hand

And he was looking for you know who

He said, "Hey fat fellow

With the hair colored yellow

Watcha tryin' to prove?

'Cause that's my woman there

And I'm a man who cares

And this might be all for you"

I said, "Excuse"

I was scared and fearing for my life

I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree

'Cause he was lean, mean

Big and bad, Lord

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 would let me

Ask one favor from you

Oh, 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, for sure

Well, the crowd cleared away

And I began to pray

And the water fell on the floor

And I'm telling you son

Well, it ain't no fun

Staring straight down a forty-four

Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lu

And that's the break I was looking for

And you could hear me screaming a mile away

As I was headed out towards the door

Oh, 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

Show me the back door
