Gimme Three Steps

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 What you trying 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 shaking like a leaf on a tree 'Cause he was lean, and mean, and Big and bad, Lord And pointing that gun at me I said, "Now wait a minute, mister I didn't even kiss her Don't want no trouble form you And I know you don't owe me But I wish you would let me Ask one favor from you" 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 And the water fell on the floor And I'm telling you, son No, it ain't no fun Staring straight down a forty-four Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou 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 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
