[00:00.553] Josh Turner -You Don't Mess Around With Jim
[00:15.214] Uptown's got its hustlers
[00:18.314] The Bowery's got its bums
[00:20.940] And forty second street got big Jim Walker
[00:24.541] He's a pool shooing son of a gun
[00:27.93] Yeah,he's big and dumb as a man can come
[00:30.285] But he's stronger than a country hoss
[00:32.888] And when the bad folks all get together at night
[00:35.493] You know they all call Big Jim "boss"...just because
[00:41.264] And they say
[00:42.293] You don't tug on Superman's cape
[00:44.975] You don't spit into the wind
[00:48.124] You don't pull the mask of the ol'Lone Ranger
[00:51.820] And you don't mess around with Jim
[00:58.683] Well,outta south Alabama come a country boy
[01:00.806] He said,"I'm looking for a man named Jim
[01:04.433] I'm a pool shooting boy
[01:05.487] My name is Willie McCoy
[01:07.588] But down home they call me Slim
[01:10.234] Yeah,I'm looking for the king of forty second street
[01:12.830] He driving a dop top Cadillac
[01:15.980] And last week he took all my money
[01:18.606] and it may sound funny
[01:19.683] But I come to get my money back."
[01:22.307] And everybody say
[01:23.882] Jack,don't you know that
[01:24.907] You don't tug on Superman's cape
[01:28.577] You don't spit into the wind
[01:31.201] You don't pull the mask of the oly Lone Ranger
[01:34.897] And you don't mess around with Jim
[01:41.827] Well,a hush fell over the pool room
[01:45.580] As Jimmy come bopping in off the street
[01:47.131] And when the cutting was done
[01:49.738] The only part that wasn't bloody
[01:51.339] Was the soles of the big man's feet
[01:54.38] Yeah,he was cut in 'bout a hundred places
[01:56.739] And he was shot in a couple more
[01:59.916] And you better believe
[02:00.964] They sung a different kind of story
[02:03.67] When Big Jim hit the floor,uh huh
[02:08.365] Now they say
[02:09.367] You don't tug on Superman's cape
[02:10.963] You don't spit into the wind
[02:14.691] You don't pull the mask of the oly Lone Ranger
[02:18.344] And you don't mess around with Slim
[02:22.588] You don't tug on Superman's cape
[02:25.193] You don't spit into the wind
[02:28.363] You don't pull the mask of the oly Lone Ranger
[02:31.514] And you don't mess around with Slim
[02:34.187] You don't pull the mask of the oly Lone Ranger
[02:37.363] And you don't mess around with Slim
