It's Jim Croce, all right, but "You don't mess around with Jim" is the song. http://www.guitaretab.com/c/croce-jim/4403.html For Leroy Brown, see http://www.mudcat.org/@displaysong.cfm?SongID=429 Mar 27 06, 11:07 AM

Ha! And the song has been going through my head since I answered this and I still didn't realize it. My bad! Mar 27 06, 12:04 PM

The two songs are actually very similar - they tell nearly the same story, but Leroy Brown is much more polished. Mar 27 06, 1:40 PM
