Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around With Jim lyrics
Jim Croce You Don't Mess Around With Jim Written by - Jim Croce From - You Don't Mess Around With Jim Uptown got it's hustlers The Bowery got it's bums And forty-second street got big Jim Walker He a pool shootin' son of a gun Yeah, he big and dumb as a man can come But he stronger than a country hoss And when the bad folks all get together at night You know they all call big Jim 'boss'...just because And they say 'You don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Jim' Well outta south Alabama come a country boy He said, 'I'm lookin' for a man named Jim I am a pool shootin' boy My name is Willie McCoy But down home they call me Slim Yeah I'm looking for the king of Forty Second Street He drivin' a drop top Cadillac Last week he took all my money And it may sound funny But I come to get my money back' Chorus: And ev'rybody say 'Jack, don't you know that You don't on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Jim' Well a hush fell over the pool room Jimmy come boppin' in off the street And when the cuttin' were done The only part that wasn't bloody Was the soles of the big man's feet Yeah he were cut in 'bout a hundred places And he were shot in a couple more And you better believe They sung a different kind of story When big Jim hit the floor Chorus Now they say You don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Slim' Yeah, big Jim got his hat Find out where it's at And not hustling people strange to you Even if you do got a two piece custom made pool cue, yeah Chorus You don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger And you don't mess around with Slim |
