Sides face grand square
I was cuttin' a rug, down at place called "The Jug"
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man, with a gun in his hand
And he was lookin' for you know who
Allemande and weave
He said, "Hey there, fellow, with the hair colored yellow
Whatcha tryin' to prove?" (Swing, promenade)
"'Cause that's my woman there, and I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you"

Heads (Sides) touch 1/4, that boy run
With your corner girl, you dosado
Swing thru tonight the boys you run right
Couples circulate and then
Chain down the line
Pass the ocean there all 8 circulate
With your corner, you swing, promenade
I know you don't owe me, but I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor* from you

Sides face grand square
(guitar solo - 32 beats)
Allemande and weave
Oh, won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door? (Swing, promenade)
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more

Circle left
I was scared and fearing for my life
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree
Allemande your corner, dosey your own
Left allemande and you weave
Oh, wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her
Don't want no trouble with you (Swing, promenade)
Well, you could hear me screaming 'bout a mile away
As I was headed out toward the door
