- I was cutting the rug down at a place called the jug with a girl named Linda Lu,
|D |D |E7 |A7
when in walked a man with a gun in his hand and he was looking for you know who.
|D |D |G |E7
He said: ”Hey, there fellow with the hair colored yellow, what you tryin’ to prove,
|D |D |A7 |D |D
’cause that’s my woman there and I’m a man who cares and this might be all for you.”

2. I was scared and fearin’ for my life, 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 with you
and I know you don’t owe me but I wish you could let me ask one favor from you.

Refr. Oh, won’t you gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister,
|A7 |A7
gimme three steps towards the door.
|D |D
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister
|A7 |D |D
and you’ll never see me no more.
Solo. Tre verser
3. Crowd cleared away and I began to pray and the water fell on the floor
and I’m telling you son that it ain’t no fun starin’ straight down a forty-four.
Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lu. 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.
Refr.
