Slim Dusty Ironbark Jim
Good old Ironbark Jim you’ve never seen the likes of
him
He’s the strongest man in the great outback
He can lift a horse and sulky up on his back
He’s as hard as horseshoe nails and he’s been in more
bush jails
Than fleas on a dog and he drinks enough grog
To irrigate New South Wales
When Jim was only 2 years old or so his father said
He couldn’t find him anywhere till he found him the
shed
He said to Ironbark look here son stop actin’ like a
clown
You not gonna shoe that flamin’ horse so put that anvil
down
Good old Ironbark Jim you’ve never seen the likes of
him
He’s the strongest man in the great outback
He can lift a horse and sulky up on his back
He’s as hard as horseshoe nails and he’s been in more
bush jails
Than fleas on a dog and he drinks enough grog
To irrigate New South Wales
Now when it comes to fightin’ men he’s the greatest in
the land
He’ll take on two or three men mate and only use one
hand
Two drovers picked him years ago but he left them both
out cold
Which wasn’t too bad cause at the time he was only nine
years old
Good old Ironbark Jim you’ve never seen the likes of
him
He’s the strongest man in the great outback
He can lift a horse and sulky up on his back
He’s as hard as horseshoe nails and he’s been in more
bush jails
Than fleas on a dog and he drinks enough grog
To irrigate New South Wales
Oh Jim once entered into a rowin’ race across Port
Phillip Bay
As soon as he heard the starters gun Ironbark was on
his way
He left the others far behind his stamina beat the band
When he finally stopped exhausted he was a mile and a
half inland
Good old Ironbark Jim you’ve never seen the likes of
him
He’s the strongest man in the great outback
He can lift a horse and sulky up on his back
He’s as hard as horseshoe nails and he’s been in more
bush jails
Than fleas on a dog and he drinks enough grog
To irrigate New South Wales
Oh oh oh good old Ironbark Jim you’ve never seen the
likes of him
