The Man From Ironbark - Barry Ryan/Tom Ferris/Rum Corps Orchestra/Brett Weymark[00:00:00]

It was the man from Ironbark who struck the Sydney town [00:00:04]

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

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

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

Ere shave my beard and whiskers off I'll be a man of mark [00:00:24]

I'll go and do the Sydney toff up home in Ironbark [00:00:28]

The barber man was small and flash as barbers mostly are [00:00:34]

He wore a strike-your-fancy sash he smoked a huge cigar;[00:00:38]

He was a humorist of note and keen at repartee [00:00:42]

He laid the odds and kept a "tote" whatever that may be [00:00:47]

And when he saw our friend he whispered [00:00:50]

Here's a lark[00:00:53]

Just watch me catch him all alive this man from Ironbark [00:00:55]

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

Their eyes were dull their heads were flat they had no brains at all[00:01:05]

To them the barber passed the wink his dexter eyelid shut [00:01:09]

I'll make this bloomin' yokel think his bloomin' throat is cut [00:01:13]

And as he soaped and rubbed it in he made a rude remark:[00:01:17]

I s'pose the flats is pretty green up there in Ironbark [00:01:21]

A grunt was all reply he got; he shaved the bushman's chin [00:01:33]

Then made the water boiling hot and dipped the razor in [00:01:38]

He raised his hand his brow grew black he paused awhile to gloat [00:01:42]

Then slashed the red-hot razor-back across his victim's throat:[00:01:46]

Upon the newly-shaven skin it made a livid mark[00:01:50]

No doubt it fairly took him in the man from Ironbark [00:01:54]

He fetched a wild up-country yell might wake the dead to hear [00:01:59]

And though his throat he knew full well was cut from ear to ear [00:02:03]

He struggled gamely to his feet and faced the murd'rous foe:[00:02:07]

You've done for me you dog I'm beat one hit before I go[00:02:10]

I only wish I had a knife you blessed murdering shark [00:02:14]

But you'll remember all your life the man from Ironbark[00:02:18]

He lifted up his hairy paw with one tremendous clout[00:02:22]

He landed on the barber's jaw and knocked the barber out [00:02:26]

He set to work with nail and tooth he made the place a wreck;[00:02:30]

He grabbed the nearest gilded youth and tried to break his neck [00:02:34]

And all the while his throat he held to save his vital spark [00:02:38]

And murder bloody murder yelled the man from Ironbark [00:02:42]

A peeler man who heard the din came in to see the show;[00:02:46]

He tried to run the bushman in but he refused to go [00:02:50]

And when at last the barber spoke he said[00:02:54]

Twas all in fun[00:02:56]

Twas just a little harmless joke a trifle overdone [00:02:58]

A joke he cried[00:03:02]

By George that's fine; a lively sort of lark;[00:03:03]

I'd like to catch that murdering swine some night in Ironbark [00:03:05]

And now while round the shearing floor the list'ning shearers gape [00:03:14]

He tells the story o'er and o'er and brags of his escape [00:03:18]

Them barber chaps what keeps a tote [00:03:22]

By George I've had enough [00:03:25]

One tried to cut my bloomin' throat but thank the Lord it's tough [00:03:27]

And whether he's believed or no there's one thing to remark [00:03:41]

That flowing beards are all the go way up in Ironbark[00:03:46]
