Gimme Three Steps (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

 

GIMME THREE STEPS

I was cutting the 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 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 said, ‘Excuse me.’

I was scared and fearing for my life,

I was shaking like a leaf on a tree

‘cause he was lean, mean, big and bad, Lord,

pointin’ that gun on me.

‘Oh, wait a minute, mister, I didn’t even kiss her.

Don’t want no trouble with you.

And I know you don’t owe me but I wish you’d let me

ask one favor from you.’

‘Say, won’t you

gimme three steps, gimme three steps, oh mister,

gimme three steps toward the door?

Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, oh mister,

and you’ll never see me no more.’

Well the crowd cleared away and I began to pray

and the water fell on the floor.

And I’m telling you, son, it ain’t no fun

staring straigth down a forty-four.

Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou

and that’s the break I was looking for.

Well, you could hear me screaming a mile away

I was headed out toward the door.

Chorus

Free Bird (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

FREE BIRD

If I leave here tomorrow

would you still remember me

For I must be travelling on now

there’s too many places I gotta see

And if I stay here with you girl

things just wouldn’t be the same

For I’m as free as a bird now

and this bird you cannot change

and the bird you cannot change

and the bird you cannot change

Lord knows I can’t change

Bye bye it’s been sweet love

though this feeling I can’t change

Please don’t take it so badly

Lord knows I must play

And if I stay here with you girl

things just couldn’t be the same

For I’m as free as a bird now

and this bird you cannot change

and the bird you cannot change

and the bird you cannot change

Lord knows I can’t change

In the Evening (Led Zeppelin)

In the Evening

In the evening

When the day is done

I’m looking for a woman

Oh, but the girl don’t come

So don’t let her

Play you for a fool

She don’t show no pity baby

No no, she don’t make no rules

             Oh, oh, I need your love,

        I need your love

             Oh, I need your love 

        I just got to have

So don’t you let her

Oh, get under your skin

It’s only bad luck and trouble

>From the day that you begin

I hear you crying in the darkness

Don’t ask nobody’s help

Ain’t no pockets full of mercy baby

Cause you can only blame yourself

             Oh, oh, I need your love,

        I need your love

             Oh, I need your love 

        I just got to have

Oh it’s simple

All the pain that you go through

You can turn away from fortune, fortune

Cause that’s all that’s left to you

It’s lonely at the bottom

Man, it’s dizzy at the top

But if you’re standing in the middle

Ain’t no way you’re gonna stop

        Oh, oh, I need your love,

        I need your love

        Oh, I need your love

        I got to have

Oh whatever that your days may bring

No use hiding in a corner, Oh no

Cause that won’t change a thing

If you’re dancing in the doldrums

One day soon, it’s got to stop, it’s got to stop

When you’re the master of the off-chance

When you don’t expect a lot

        Oh, oh, I need your love,

        I need your love

        Oh, yeah, I need your love

        I got to have

oooh, ooh, etc...

I'm Gonna Crawl (Led Zeppelin)

I’m Gonna Crawl

Oh she’s my baby

Let me tell you why

Hey, she drives me crazy

She’s the apple of my eye

‘Cause she is my girl

And she can never do wrong

If I dream too much at night

Somebody please bring me down

Hey, I love that little lady

I got to be her fool

Ain’t no other like my baby

I can break the golden rule

‘Cause I get down on my knees

Oh, I pray that love won’t die

And if I always try to please

I don’t know the reason why, yeah

If she would come back

Only stay with me

Every little bit of my love, etc.

I give to you girl

I don’t have to go by plane

I ain’t gotto go by car

I don’t care just where my darling is

People I just don’t care how far

I’m gonna crawl

I don’t care if I got to go back home

I don’t care what I got to stand to her back

I’m gonna crawl

I’m gonna move the car, baby

She give me good lovin

Yes I love her, I guess I love her

I wanna crawl

Hot Dog (Led Zeppelin)

Hot Dog

Well I just got into town today

To find my girl who’s gone away

She took the Greyhound at the General Store

I searched myself I searched the town

When I finally did sit down

I find myself no wiser than before

She said we couldn’t do no wrong

No other love could be so strong

She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer

Now she took my heart she took my keys

>From in my old blue dungarees

And I’ll never go to Texas anymore

             Now my baby’s gone I don’t know what to do

             She took my love and walked right out the door

             And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure

             I’m gonna give her something like she never had before

I took her love at seventeen

A little late these days it seems

But they said heaven is well worth waiting for

I took her word I took it all

Beneath the sign that said U-haul

She left angels hangin round for more

             Now my baby’s gone I don’t know what to do

             She took my love and walked right out the door

             And if I ever find that girl I know one thing for sure

             I’m gonna give her something like she never had before

I thought I had it all sewn up

Our love, a plot, a pick-up truck

But folks said she was after something more

I never did quite understand

All that talk about rockin’ bands

But they just rolled my doll right out the door

Oh yeah, they just rolled my doll right out the door!
