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

It was the man from Ironbark[00:00:05]

Who struck the Sydney town[00:00:07]

He wandered over street and park[00:00:09]

He wandered up and down [00:00:11]

He loitered here he loitered there[00:00:13]

Till he was like to drop [00:00:15]

Until at last in sheer despair[00:00:17]

He sought a barber's shop [00:00:19]

"Ere shave my beard and whiskers off[00:00:21]

I'll be a man of mark [00:00:23]

I'll go and do the Sydney[00:00:25]

Toff up home in Ironbark "[00:00:27]

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

As barbers mostly are [00:00:34]

He wore a strike-your-fancy sash[00:00:37]

He smoked a huge cigar[00:00:39]

He was a humorist of note[00:00:41]

And keen at repartee [00:00:43]

He laid the odds and kept a "tote"[00:00:45]

Whatever that may be [00:00:47]

And when he saw our friend arrive[00:00:49]

He whispered "Here's a lark [00:00:50]

Just watch me catch him all alive[00:00:53]

This man from Ironbark "[00:00:55]

There were some gilded youths[00:01:06]

That sat along the barber's wall[00:01:07]

Their eyes were dull[00:01:10]

Their heads were flat[00:01:11]

They had no brains at all[00:01:12]

To them the barber passed[00:01:14]

A wink his dexter eyelid shut [00:01:16]

"I'll make this bloomin' yokel[00:01:18]

Think his bloomin' throat is cut "[00:01:20]

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

It in he made a rude remark[00:01:24]

"I s'pose the flats is pretty[00:01:26]

Green up there in Ironbark "[00:01:28]

A grunt was all reply he got[00:01:34]

He shaved the bushman's chin[00:01:36]

Then made the water boiling[00:01:38]

Hot and dipped the razor in[00:01:39]

He raised his hand[00:01:42]

His brow was black[00:01:43]

He paused awhile to gloat[00:01:44]

Then slashed the red-hot razor-back[00:01:46]

Across his victim's throat[00:01:48]

Upon the newly-shaven skin[00:01:50]

It made a livid mark [00:01:52]

No doubt it fairly took him in[00:01:54]

The man from Ironbark [00:01:56]

He fetched a wild up-country yell[00:02:05]

Might wake the dead to hear[00:02:07]

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

Was cut from ear to ear [00:02:11]

He struggled gamely to his feet[00:02:13]

And faced the murd'rous foe[00:02:15]

"You've done for me you dog[00:02:17]

I'm beat one hit before I go[00:02:19]

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

You blessed murdering shark[00:02:23]

But you'll remember all your[00:02:25]

Life the man from Ironbark "[00:02:27]

He lifted up his hairy paw[00:02:33]

With one tremendous clout[00:02:35]

He landed on the barber's jaw[00:02:37]

And knocked the barber out [00:02:39]

He set to work with tooth and nail[00:02:41]

He made the place a wreck[00:02:43]

He grabbed the nearest gilded youth[00:02:45]

And tried to break his neck[00:02:47]

And all the while his throat[00:02:49]

He held to save his vital spark[00:02:50]

And "Murder Bloody murder "[00:02:53]

Yelled the man from Ironbark[00:02:55]

A peeler man who heard[00:03:06]

The din came in to see the show[00:03:08]

He tried to run the bushman in[00:03:10]

But he refused to go[00:03:12]

And when at last the barber spoke[00:03:14]

And said "'Twas all in fun'[00:03:16]

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

A trifle overdone "[00:03:20]

"A joke " he said "By hell that's fine[00:03:22]

A lively sort of lark[00:03:24]

I'd like to catch that murdering[00:03:26]

Swine some night in Ironbark "[00:03:28]

And now while round the shearing[00:03:34]

Floor the list'ning shearers gape[00:03:35]

He tells the story o'er and o'er[00:03:38]

And brags of his escape[00:03:40]

"Them barber chaps what keeps a tote[00:03:42]

By hell I've had enough[00:03:44]

One tried to cut my bloomin' throat[00:03:46]

But thank the Lord it's tough "[00:03:48]

And whether he's believed or no[00:03:50]

There's one thing to remark[00:03:52]

That flowing beards are all the[00:03:54]

Go back home in Ironbark [00:03:56]

That flowing beards are all the[00:03:59]

Go back home in Ironbark[00:04:00]
