there lived an old man named Jimbo Crawford strange as a man can be

Jimbo split his wood with a big sledgehammer, his leg had a terrible scar

but nothing could touch him in the town of Invercargill when he picked up his old guitar

He'd make no blunder. You couldn't lose him.

A perfect wonder, You'd have to choose him.

A great musician Of high position
G D D7 G
Whistling Jimbo the One Man Band
Miles he would tramp to a ball or party
In rainy weather or fine.
When he arrived, he was welcomed hearty.
Out came the chicken and the wine.
When he was through with the wine and the chicken,
He'd play an' whistle so grand,
You'd think that the angels on their harps were pickin',
But it's Jimbo the One Man Band.
