|
I was cuttin' the rug |
|
Down at a place called the Jug |
|
With a girl named Linda Lu |
|
When in walked a man |
|
With a gun in his hand |
|
Lookin' for you know who |
|
He said, "Hey there fellow |
|
With the hair colored yellow |
|
What you tryin' to prove? |
|
'Cause that's my woman there |
|
And I'm a man who cares |
|
And this might be all for you |
|
I was scared and fearin' for my life |
|
Shakin' like a leaf on a tree |
|
'Cause he was lean and mean |
|
And 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'd let me |
|
Ask one favor from you" |
|
I said, "Won't you give me three steps |
|
Gimme three steps Mister |
|
Gimme three steps towards the door? |
|
Gimme three steps |
|
Gimme three steps Mister |
|
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 tellin' you son, well it ain't no fun |
|
Starin' straight down a forty-four |
|
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu |
|
So break I was lookin' for |
|
And you could hear me screamin' a mile away |
|
As I was headed out towards the door |
|
I said, "Won't you give me three steps |
|
Gimme three steps Mister |
|
Gimme three steps towards the door? |
|
Gimme three steps |
|
Gimme three steps Mister |
|
You'll never see me no more" |
