Gimme Three Steps
Ton : DEnglish
DI was cuttin the rug downD at a place called 'The Jug'
with a gAirl named Linda LAou
When iDn walked a man with a gDun in his hand
he was lEooking for you know wAho.
He said "HDey there fellow with the hDair coloured yellow,
watcha tryin'to prEoove ?
Cuz'thatsa'my woman there andD I'm a man who carDes
and this mAight be all for yDou" (I said "excuse me !")
I was sDcared and fearing fDor my life
sAhaking like a leaf on a tAree
Cuz'he was leDan and mean and biDg and bad, Lord,
pEointing that gun at mAe
I said "wDait a minute mister, I dDidn't even kiss her,
don't want no trouble with yoEu
and I know yDou don't owe me but I wish yDou would let me
aAsk one favour from yDou :
Say won't youD Gimme 3 steps, gimmeD 3 steps mister,
gimme 3A steps toward the dAoor ?
GDimme 3 steps, gimme 3D steps mister
and you'll nAever see me no mDore."
(Instrumental)
O well the cDrowd cleared away and I beDgan to pray
and the wAater fell down to the fAloor
and I'm tDelling you, son, it aDin't no fun,
staring sEtraight down a fourty-fAour.
Well, he tDurned and screamed at LDinda Lou,
and that's the bGreak I was looking fEor
and you could hDear me screaming a mDile away
as I was hAeaded out toward the dDoor.
Say won't youD Gimme 3 steps, gimmeD 3 steps mister,
gimme 3A steps toward the dAoor ?
GDimme 3 steps, gimme 3D steps mister
and you'll nAever see me no mDore."
