I was cAutting the rug, down at place called The Jug
With a gEirl named Linda Lou
When Ain walked a man with a gun in his hand
And he was B7looking for you know wEho
He said Ahey there, fellow with the hair colored yellow
DWhatcha tryin’ to B7prove?
‘Cause that’s Amy woman there and I’m a man who cares
And this Emight be all for Ayou
I said, “excuse me”
AAEEAAEAAA
I was sAcared and fearing for my life
I was sEhaking like a leaf on a tree
‘Cause he was Alean, mean, big and bad, lord
B7Pointin’ that gun at Eme
Oh, Await a minute, mister I didn’t even kiss her
DDon’t want no trouble with B7you
And I Aknow you don’t owe me but I wish you would let me
EAsk one favor from Ayou
Oh won’t you Agimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme Ethree steps toward your door
AGimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you’ll Enever see me no Amore
For, sure
Solo on verse chords, or trim to one intro
AAEEAAEAAA
Well the Acrowd cleared away, and I began to pray
And the Ewater fell on the floor
And I’m Atelling you, son, well, it ain’t no fun
Staring B7straight down a forty-Efour
Well, he Aturned and screamed at Linda Lou
And that’s the Dbreak I was looking B7for
And you could Ahear me screaming a mile away
As I was Eheaded out toward your Adoor
Oh won’t you Agimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme Ethree steps toward your door
AGimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you’ll Enever see me no Amore
Show me the back door
