Gimme Three Steps (Live, Sheffield 1977)

歌詞

I was cutting 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 And he was looking for you-know-who He said, "Hey there fellow with the hair colored yellow Whatcha tryin' to prove? 'Cause that's my woman there and I'm a man who cares And this might be all for you" I was scared and fearing for my life I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree 'Cause he was lean, mean, big and bad, Lord Pointin' that gun at me "Oh, wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her Don't want no trouble wit' chu And I know you don't owe me but I wish you would let me Ask one favor from you" "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 a-me no more" For sure Well, the crowd cleared away and I began to pray And the 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 Lou 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 "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 a-me no more" Show me the back door
