Gimme Three Steps

I was cuttin the rug down at a place called 'The Jug' with a girl named Linda Lou When in walked a man with a gun in his hand he was looking for you know who. He said "Hey there fellow with the hair coloured yellow, watcha tryin'to proove ? Cuz'thatsa'my woman there and I'm a man who cares 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 : Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door ? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more." (Instrumental) 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. Say won't you Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister, gimme 3 steps toward the door ? Gimme 3 steps, gimme 3 steps mister and you'll never see me no more."
