Lyrics

[00:46.525] i was cutting the rug down at place called the jug
[00:49.255] with a girl named linda lou
[00:52.211] when in walked a man with a gun in his hand
[00:57.11] and he was looking for you know who.
[00:59.495] he said,'hey there,fellow with the hair colored yellow,
[01:04.415] whatcha tryin'to prove?
[01:07.427] 'cause that's my woman there and i'm a man who cares
[01:11.639] and this might be all for you.'
[01:14.55] i said,'excuse me.'
[01:17.87] i was scared and fearing for my life,
[01:36.162] i was shaking like a leaf on a tree
[01:39.314] 'cause he was lean,mean,big and bad,lord,
[01:44.278] pointin'that gun at me.
[01:46.414] 'oh,wait a minute,mister,i didn't even kiss her.
[01:51.384] don't want no trouble with you.
[01:53.674] and i know you don't owe me but i wish you'd let me
[01:58.208] ask one favor from you.'
[02:00.886] oh,won't you
[02:04.671] gimme three steps,gimme three steps,oh mister,
[02:07.79] gimme three steps toward the door?
[02:09.574] gimme three steps,gimme three steps,oh mister,
[02:13.788] and you'll never see me no more.'
[02:16.581] for sure
[02:19.725] well the crowd cleared away and i began to pray
[02:54.847] and the water fell on the floor.
[02:57.12] and i'm telling you,son,it ain't no fun
[03:00.987] staring straigth down a forty-four.
[03:03.284] well,he turned and screamed at linda lou
[03:07.660] and that's the break i was looking for.
[03:10.732] well,you could hear me screaming a mile away
[03:14.854] as i was headed out toward the door.
[03:17.864] oh,won't you
[03:21.668] gimme three steps,gimme three steps,oh mister,
[03:24.154] gimme three steps toward the door?
[03:26.661] gimme three steps,gimme three steps,oh mister,
[03:30.884] and you'll never see me no more.'
[03:33.388] show me the back door
