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
