[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.

[02:13.788]and you'll never see me no more.'
[02:16.581]for sure

[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.
