Lyrics
Original Source:LyricWiki
I was cutting 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
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 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, 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 wit' chu
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 a-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.

"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 a-me no more.
Show me the back door..."
