You Don't Mess Around With Jim
Jim Croce 1972
  (Sting 21413)   Stefan Sidholm
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Uptown got it's hustlers - bowery got it's bums
42nd Street got Big Jim Walker
He's a pool-shootin'

Allemande left and weave the ring
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 11, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru 4 now
Swing thru, boy run right
Half tag, girl run, reverse flutter wheel, sweep 1/4
Veer right, the boy cross run, promenade
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
South Alabama came 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

Allemande left and weave
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim

Four ladies promenade a walking along
Get back home swing your man, promenade
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim


TAG

Give her a swing
Pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim
