YOU DON'T MESS AROUND WITH JIM by JIM CROCE on the DICK CAVETT SHOW chords
Start Jamming...
Oh, and they startled me.
My next guest is an excellent young singer and songwriter and he's just beginning to
make a name for himself.
And his first album, You Don't Mess Around With Jim, is already a bestseller.
That's why I'm holding it up.
And on September 26th, he'll be appearing with [E] Woody Allen at the [N] Mill Run Theater in
Chicago for our friends out in Chicago.
And will you welcome him, please?
Remarkable young talent, Jim Croce.
