Gimme Three Steps
Ton : DEnglish
Couplet
DI was cuttin' the rug down Dat a place 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,
Watcha tryin' to Eprove?
Cuz'thatsa'my woman there and DI'm a man who Dcares
And this Amight be all for Dyou" (I said "excuse me!")
Couplet
I was Dscared and fearing Dfor my life
AShaking like a leaf on a Atree
Cuz'he was Dlean and mean and Dbig and bad, Lord,
EPointing that gun at Ame
I said "Dwait a minute mister, I Ddidn't even kiss her,
Don't want no trouble with Eyou
And I know Dyou don't owe me but I wish Dyou would let me
AAsk one favour from Dyou:
Refrain
Say won't you DGimme 3 steps, gimme D3 steps mister,
Gimme 3 Asteps toward the Adoor?
DGimme 3 steps, gimme 3 Dsteps mister
And you'll Anever see me no Dmore."
(Instrumental)
Couplet
Oh well the Dcrowd cleared away and I Dbegan to pray
And the Awater fell down to the Afloor
And I'm Dtelling you, son, 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 looking Efor
And you could Dhear me screaming a Dmile away
As I was Aheaded out toward the Ddoor.
Refrain
Say won't you DGimme 3 steps, gimme D3 steps mister,
Gimme 3 Asteps toward the Adoor?
DGimme 3 steps, gimme 3 Dsteps mister
And you'll Anever see me no Dmore."
