D I was cuttin’ the rug down at a place Bm Called 'The Jug' A With a girl named Linda Lou D Bm When in walked a man with a gun in his hand E A He was looking for you know who. D He said "Hey there fellow with the hair Bm G E Coloured yellow, watcha tryin' to prove? D Bm Cuz thatsa my woman there and I'm a man who cares A D And this might be all for you" (I said "excuse me!") D Bm I was scared and fearing for my life A I was shaking like a leaf on a tree D 'Cause he was lean, and mean, and Bm E A Big and bad, Lord, a-pointing that gun at me D Bm "Oh wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her G E A Don't want no trouble with you D And I know you don't owe me Bm But I wish you would let me A D Ask one favor from you" Chorus: D Oh won't you gimme three steps, Gimme three steps mister, A Gimme three steps toward the door? D Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister A D And you'll never see me no more." D Bm Well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray A And the water fell on the floor D Bm And I'm telling you, son, well, it ain't no fun E A Staring straight down a forty-four D Bm Well he turned and there screamed at Linda Lou G E And that's the break I was looking for D Bm And you could hear me screaming a mile away A D As I was headed out towards the door Chorus: D Oh won't you gimme three steps, Gimme three steps mister, A Gimme three steps toward the door? D Gimme three steps, gimme three steps mister A D And you'll never see me no more."
