Lyrics:

I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called the JUG
(juggle gug juggabug)
With a girl named Linda Lu.
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
(shellybuv in a bustle)
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, 'Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you.'
I said, 'Exuse me...'

I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, an' mean,
Big and bad Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
'I said no 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 favor from you.'

(Chorus 2x)
'Won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see me no more.'

Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
As my water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son,
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.

(Chorus 2x)
