D
I was cuttin the rug down at a place called 'The Jug'
A
with a girl named Linda Lou
D
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand
E A
he was looking for you know who
D D
He said Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow
G E
watcha tryin' to proove
D
Cuz' this is my woman there and I'm a man who cares
A D
and this might be all for you
I said excuse me
I was scared and fearing for my life
shaking like a leaf on a tree
Cuz' he was lean and mean and big and bad Lord
pointing that gun at me
I said 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 would let me
ask one favour from you
CHORUS
D
Say won't you Gimme 3 steps gimme 3 steps mister
A
Gimme 3 steps toward the door
D
Gimme 3 steps gimme 3 steps mister
A D
And you'll never see me no more
O well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray
and the water fell down to the floor
and I'm telling you son it ain't no fun
staring straight down a fourty-four
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lou
and that's the break I was looking for
and you could hear me screaming a mile away
as I was headed out toward the door
CHORUS
