Josh  Turner -You  Don't  Mess  Around  With  Jim
Uptown's  got  its  hustlers
The  Bowery's  got  its  bums
And  forty  second  street  got  big  Jim  Walker
He's  a  pool  shooing  son  of  a  gun
Yeah,he's  big  and  dumb  as  a  man  can  come
But  he's  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  of  the  ol'Lone  Ranger
And  you  don't  mess  around  with  Jim
Well,outta  south  Alabama  come  a  country  boy
He  said,"I'm  looking  for  a  man  named  Jim
I'm  a  pool  shooting  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  driving  a  dop  top  Cadillac
And  last  week  he  took  all  my  money
and  it  may  sound  funny
But  I  come  to  get  my  money  back."
And  everybody  say
Jack,don't  you  know  that
You  don't  tug  on  Superman's  cape
You  don't  spit  into  the  wind
You  don't  pull  the  mask  of  the  oly  Lone  Ranger
And  you  don't  mess  around  with  Jim
Well,a  hush  fell  over  the  pool  room
As  Jimmy  come  bopping  in  off  the  street
And  when  the  cutting  was  done
The  only  part  that  wasn't  bloody
Was  the  soles  of  the  big  man's  feet
Yeah,he  was  cut  in 'bout  a  hundred  places
And  he  was  shot  in  a  couple  more
And  you  better  believe
They  sung  a  different  kind  of  story
When  Big  Jim  hit  the  floor,uh  huh
Now  they  say
You  don't  tug  on  Superman's  cape
You  don't  spit  into  the  wind
You  don't  pull  the  mask  of  the  oly  Lone  Ranger
And  you  don't  mess  around  with  Slim
You  don't  tug  on  Superman's  cape
You  don't  spit  into  the  wind
You  don't  pull  the  mask  of  the  oly  Lone  Ranger
And  you  don't  mess  around  with  Slim
You  don't  pull  the  mask  of  the  oly  Lone  Ranger
And  you  don't  mess  around  with  Slim
