	E
	Uptown got it's hustlers

The bowery got it's bums

42nd Street got Big Jim Walker

He's a pool-shootin' son of a gun

	A
Yeah, he	big and dumb as a man can come

	E
But he	stronger than a country hoss

	B
And when the	bad folks all get together at night

	A	E
You know they	all call big Jim	"Boss", just because

And they say

	A	E
You don't	tug on Superman's	cape

	A	E
You don't	spit into the	wind

	A
You don't	pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger

	B	E
And you	don't mess around with	Jim

	E
Well outta	south Alabama came a country boy

He say I'm lookin' for a man named Jim

I am a pool-shootin' boy

My name Willie McCoy

But down home they call me Slim

	A
Yeah I'm	lookin' for the king of 42nd Street

	E
He drivin' a	drop top Cadillac

	B
After he	took all my money

And it may sound funny

	A	E
But I	came to get my money	back

And everybody say Jack don't you know

	A	E
And you don't	tug on Superman's	cape

	A	E
You don't	spit into the	wind

	A
You don't	pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger

	B	E
And you	don't mess around with	Jim

	E
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

	E
Was the	soles of the big man's feet

	A
Yeah he were	cut in in bout a hundred places

	E
And he were	shot in a couple more

	B
And you	better believe

They sung a different kind of story

	A	E
When	big Jim hit the	floor now they say

	A	E
You don't	tug on Superman's	cape

	A	E
You don't	spit into the	wind

	A
You don't	pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger

	B	E
And you	don't mess around with	Slim

	E
(Spoken)	Yeah, big Jim got his hat

Find out where it's at

And it's not hustlin' people strange to you

Even if you do got a two-piece custom-made pool cue

	A	E
Yeah you don't	tug on Superman's	cape

	A	E
You don't	spit into the	wind

	A
You don't	pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger

	B	E
And you	don't mess around with	Slim
