The Man From Iron Bark - Slim Dusty (西林·得斯提)[00:00:00]

Written by：Slim Dusty/A.B. Banjo Paterson[00:00:02]

It was the man from iron bark who struck the Sydney[00:00:04]

Town[00:00:07]

He wandered over street and park he wandered up and[00:00:08]

Down[00:00:12]

He loitered here he loitered there till he was like[00:00:12]

To drop[00:00:16]

Until at last in sheer despair he sought a barber's[00:00:17]

Shop[00:00:20]

'Ere shave my beard and whiskers off I'll be a[00:00:21]

Man of mark[00:00:23]

I'll go and do the Sydney toff up home in[00:00:25]

Iron bark[00:00:27]

The barber man was small and flash as barbers mostly[00:00:32]

Are[00:00:35]

He wore a strike your fancy sash he smoked a[00:00:36]

Huge cigar[00:00:39]

He was a humorist of note and keen at repartee[00:00:40]

He laid the odds and kept a 'tote' whatever that[00:00:44]

May be[00:00:47]

And when he saw our friend arrive he whispered here's[00:00:48]

A lark[00:00:51]

Just watch me catch him all alive this man from[00:00:52]

Iron bark[00:00:55]

There were some gilded youths that sat along the barber's[00:01:05]

Wall[00:01:09]

Their eyes were dull their heads were flat they had[00:01:09]

No brains at all[00:01:12]

To them the barber passed a wink his dexter eyelid[00:01:14]

Shut[00:01:17]

'I'll make this bloomin' yokel think his bloomin' throat is[00:01:18]

Cut[00:01:21]

And as he soaped and rubbed it in he made[00:01:22]

A rude remark[00:01:24]

'I s'pose the flats is pretty green up there in[00:01:26]

Iron bark[00:01:29]

A grunt was all reply he got he shaved the[00:01:33]

Bushman's chin[00:01:36]

Then made the water boiling hot and dipped the razor[00:01:37]

In[00:01:40]

He raised his hand his brow was black he paused[00:01:41]

Awhile to gloat[00:01:44]

Then slashed the red hot razor back across his victim's[00:01:45]

Throat[00:01:48]

Upon the newly shaven skin it made a livid mark[00:01:49]

No doubt it fairly took him in the man from[00:01:53]

Iron bark[00:01:56]

He fetched a wild up country yell might wake the[00:02:05]

Dead to hear[00:02:07]

And though his throat he knew full well was cut[00:02:09]

From ear to ear[00:02:11]

He struggled gamely to his feet and faced the murd'rous[00:02:13]

Foe[00:02:16]

'You've done for me you dog I'm beat one hit[00:02:17]

Before I go[00:02:19]

I only wish I had a knife you blessed murdering[00:02:21]

Shark[00:02:24]

But you'll remember all your life the man from iron bark[00:02:25]

He lifted up his hairy paw with one tremendous clout[00:02:32]

He landed on the barber's jaw and knocked the barber[00:02:36]

Out[00:02:39]

He set to work with tooth and nail he made[00:02:40]

The place a wreck[00:02:43]

He grabbed the nearest gilded youth and tried to break[00:02:44]

His neck[00:02:47]

And all the while his throat he held to save[00:02:48]

His vital spark[00:02:51]

And murder bloody murder yelled the man from iron bark[00:02:52]

A peeler man who heard the din came in to[00:03:05]

See the show[00:03:08]

He tried to run the bushman in but he refused[00:03:09]

To go[00:03:12]

And when at last the barber spoke and said 'twas[00:03:14]

All in fun[00:03:16]

Twas just a little harmless joke a trifle overdone[00:03:18]

A joke he said by hell that's fine a[00:03:22]

Lively sort of lark[00:03:24]

I'd like to catch that murdering swine some night in[00:03:26]

Iron bark[00:03:28]

And now while round the shearing floor the list'ning shearers[00:03:33]

Gape[00:03:36]

He tells the story o'er and o'er and brags of[00:03:37]

His escape[00:03:40]

'Them barber chaps what keeps a tote by hell I've[00:03:41]

Had enough[00:03:44]

One tried to cut my bloomin' throat but thank the[00:03:45]

Lord it's tough'[00:03:48]

And whether he's believed or no there's one thing to[00:03:49]

Remark[00:03:52]

That flowing beards are all the go back home in[00:03:53]

Iron bark[00:03:56]

That flowing beards are all the go back home in[00:03:59]

Iron bark[00:04:01]
