[Verse 1]
I was Dcuttin' the rug down at a Dplace called 'The Jug'
with a Agirl named Linda ALou
When Din walked a man with a Dgun in his hand,
he was Elooking for you know Awho.
He said "DHey there fellow with the Dhair coloured yellow,
G watcha tryF#in' Fto Eprove?
Cuz thatsa Dmy woman there and I'm a Dman who cares
and this Amight be all for Dyou" (I said "excuse me!")
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
I was Dscared and fearing Dfor my life,
I was Ashaking like a leaf on a Atree
Cuz he was Dlean and mean and Dbig and bad, Lord,
a Epointing that gun at Ame
"Oh Dwait a minute mister, I Ddidn't even kiss her,
G don't want no trouF#ble Fwith Eyou
and I Dknow you don't owe me but I Dwish you would let me
Aask one favor from Dyou
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you Dgimme three steps, gimme Dthree steps mister,
Agimme three steps toward the Adoor?
DGimme three steps, gimme Dthree steps mister
and you'll Anever see me no Dmore. For sure"
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh, well the Dcrowd cleared away and I Dbegan to pray
and the Awater fell on the Afloor.
And I'm Dtelling you, son, well it Dain't no fun,
staring Estraight down a forty-Afour.
Well, he Dturned and screamed at DLinda Lou,
and that's the Gbreak I was looF#kinFg Efor
and you could Dhear me screaming a Dmile away
as I was Aheaded out toward the Ddoor.
[Chorus]
Oh, won't you Dgimme three steps, gimme Dthree steps mister,
gimme Athree steps toward the Adoor?
DGimme three steps, gimme Dthree steps mister
and you'll Anever see me no Dmore. (Show me the back door)
