Song Lyrics

You blessed murdering shark, as barbers mostly are
just watch me catch him all alive
A trifle overdone., he laid the odds and kept a tote, and whether he s believed or no
And whether he s believed or no, one tried to cut my bloomin throat
One tried to cut my bloomin throat, i ve had enough From, with one tremendous clout
bloody murder yelled the man from ironbark
I d like to catch that murdering swine some night in ironbark., but he refused to go

he lifted up his hairy paw
he whispered here s a lark
I d like to catch that murdering swine some night in ironbark., a grunt was all reply he got he shaved the bushman s chin
i ll be a man of mark
his brow grew black
The barber man was small and flash, that flowing beards are all the go way up in ironbark, twas just a little harmless joke
That flowing beards are all the go way up in ironbark, he smoked a huge cigar

and all the while his throat he held to save his vital spark
i only wish i had a knife
He struggled gamely to his feet, he wore a strike-your-fancy sash
Upon the newly shaven skin it made a livid mark, and tried to break his neck
With one tremendous clout, you blessed murdering shark
But thank the lord it s tough., whatever that may be
They had no brains at all, to them the barber passed the wink, i s pose the flats is pretty green up there in ironbark.

he laid the odds and kept a tote
he fetched a wild up-country yell might wake the dead to hear
A peeler man who heard the din came in to see the show, he wandered over street and park, bloody murder yelled the man from ironbark
The man from ironbark., then slashed the red-hot razor-back across his victim s throat
Their heads were flat, till he was like to drop
shave my beard and whiskers off
his dexter eyelid shut

His dexter eyelid shut, one tried to cut my bloomin throat, you ve done for me
they had no brains at all
There were some gilded youths that sat along the barber s wall, he tells the story o er and o er Iron, bloody murder yelled the man from ironbark
No doubt it fairly took him in, there were some gilded youths that sat along the barber s wall, the barber man was small and flash
as barbers mostly are
I s pose the flats is pretty green up there in ironbark., and though his throat
the man from ironbark

But he refused to go, he was a humorist of note and keen at repartee
A grunt was all reply he got he shaved the bushman s chin, one hit before i go Man, the barber man was small and flash
With one tremendous clout, and when he saw our friend arrive, he knew full well
He smoked a huge cigar, he tried to run the bushman in Dusty, just watch me catch him all alive
I ve had enough, the barber man was small and flash
You blessed murdering shark, and now while round the shearing floor the list ning shearers gape
That flowing beards are all the go way up in ironbark, and faced the murd rous foe

You blessed murdering shark, then slashed the red-hot razor-back across his victim s throat, i ll be a man of mark
You ve done for me, no doubt it fairly took him in Bark, he wandered up and down
Then made the water boiling hot and dipped the razor in, he set to work with tooth and nail, but he refused to go
He landed on the barber s jaw, you ve done for me
He made the place a wreck, his brow grew black, and faced the murd rous foe
And when at last the barber spoke, i ll go and do the sydney toff up home in ironbark. Slim, and knocked the barber out
Just watch me catch him all alive, he made the place a wreck The, you blessed murdering shark

And all the while his throat he held to save his vital spark, whatever that may be
them barber chaps what keeps a tote
He laid the odds and kept a tote, he struggled gamely to his feet
Twas just a little harmless joke, a trifle overdone., them barber chaps what keeps a tote
You ve done for me, he lifted up his hairy paw The, he set to work with tooth and nail
No doubt it fairly took him in, the barber man was small and flash The, until at last in sheer despair he sought a barber s shop
And knocked the barber out, he landed on the barber s jaw

There s one thing to remark, was cut from ear to ear Iron, the man from ironbark.
