《The Man From Iron Bark》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:34] As barbers mostly are

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

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

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

[00:00:43] And keen at repartee

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

[00:00:47] Whatever that may be

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:10] Their eyes were dull

[00:01:11] Their heads were flat

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:42] He raised his hand

[00:01:43] His brow was black

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:56] The man from Ironbark

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:23] You blessed murdering shark

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

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

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

[00:02:35] With one tremendous clout

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:20] A trifle overdone "

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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