Answer:

It was the man from Ironbark who struck the Sydney town,

He wandered over street and park, he wandered up and down.

He loitered here, he loitered there, till he was like to drop,

Until at last in sheer despair he sought a barber's shop.

"'Ere! shave my beard and whiskers off, I'll be a man of mark,

I'll go and do the Sydney toff up home in Ironbark."

The barber man was small and flash, as barbers mostly are,

He wore a strike-your-fancy sash, he smoked a huge cigar;

He was a humorist of note and keen at repartee,

He laid the odds and kept a "tote", whatever that may be,

And when he saw our friend arrive, he whispered, "Here's a lark!

Just watch me catch him all alive, this man from Ironbark."
