I was cutting the rug
Aku sedang memotong karpet
Down at a place called The Jug
Turun di tempat bernama The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
Dengan seorang gadis bernama Linda Lu
When in walked a man
Saat di jalan seorang pria
With a gun in his hand
Dengan pistol di tangannya
And he was looking for you know who.
Dan dia mencarimu tahu siapa.
He said, "Hey there fellow,
Dia berkata, "Hei sobat,
With the hair colored yellow,
Dengan rambut berwarna kuning,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
Apa kau mencoba untuk membuktikannya?
'Cause that's my woman there
Karena itulah wanitaku disana
And I'm a man who cares
Dan aku adalah orang yang peduli
And this might be all for you."
Dan ini mungkin untukmu. "
I was scared and fearing for my life.
Aku takut dan takut akan hidupku.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
Aku gemetar seperti daun di pohon.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Karena dia kurus, jahat,
Big and bad, Lord,
Besar dan buruk, Tuhan,
Pointin' that gun at me.
Tegaskan pistol itu padaku.
I said, "Wait a minute, mister,
Aku berkata, "Tunggu sebentar, tuan,
I didn't even kiss her.
Aku bahkan tidak menciumnya.
Don't want no trouble with you.
Tidak ingin ada masalah denganmu
And I know you don't owe me
Dan aku tahu kau tidak berutang budi padaku
But I wish you'd let me
Tapi kuharap kau mengizinkanku
Ask one favor from you."
Minta bantuan darimu. "
[Chorus]"Won't you give me three steps,
"Maukah kau beri aku tiga langkah,
Gimme three steps mister,
Beri aku tiga langkah tuan,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Beri tiga langkah ke arah pintu?
Gimme three steps
Beri tiga langkah
Gimme three steps mister,
Beri aku tiga langkah tuan,
And you'll never see me no more."
Dan kau takkan pernah melihatku lagi. "
Well the crowd cleared away
Baiklah kerumunan berhamburan
And I began to pray
Dan aku mulai berdoa
As the water fell on the floor.
Seperti air jatuh di lantai.
And I'm telling you son,
Dan aku memberitahumu,
Well, it ain't no fun
Yah, itu tidak menyenangkan
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Menatap lurus ke bawah empat puluh empat.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
Yah, dia berbalik dan menjerit pada Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
Dan itulah tembakan yang ku lihat.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
Dan kau bisa mendengarku menjerit sejauh satu mil jauhnya
As I was headed out towards the door.
Saat aku menuju ke pintu.
Aku sedang memotong karpet
