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 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 [Fades Out]
