Born of a thoroughbred English race	A
Well proportioned and closely knit	B
Neat slim figure and handsome face	A
Always ready and always fit	B
Hardy and wiry of limb and thew	C
That was the ne'er do well Jim Carew	C
One of the sons of the good old land	D
Many a year since his like was known	E
Never a game but he took command	D
Never a sport but he held his own	E
Gained at his college a triple blue	C
Good as they make them was Jim Carew	C
Came to grief was it card or horse	F
Nobody asked and nobody cared	G
Ship him away to the bush of course	F
Ne'er do well fellows are easily spared	G
Only of women a sorrowing few	C
Wept at parting from Jim Carew	C
	-
Gentleman Jiim on the cattle camp	H
Sitting his horse with an easy grace	A
But the reckless living has left its stamp	H
In the deep drawn linies of that handsome face	A
And the harder look in those eyes of blue	C
Prompt at a quarrel is Jim Carew	C
	-
Billy the Lasher was out for gore	I
Twelve stone navvy with chest of hair	J
When he opened out with a hungry roar	I
On a ten stone man it was hardly fair	J
But his wife was wise if his face she knew	C
By the time you were done with him Jim Carew	C
Gentleman Jim in the stockmen's hut	K
Works with them toils with them side by side	L
As to his past well his lips are shut	K
Gentleman once say his mates with pride	L
And the wildest Cornstalk can ne'er outdo	C
In feats of recklessness Jim Carew	C
	-
What should he live for A dull despair	J
Drink is his master and drags him down	M
Water of Lethe that drowns all care	J
Gentleman Jiim has a lot to drown	M
And he reigns as king with a drunken crew	C
Sinking to misery Jim Carew	C
	-
Such is the end of the ne'er do well	N
Jimmy the Boozer all down at heel	O
But he straightens up when he's asked to tell	N
His name and race and a flash of steel	O
Still lightens up in those eyes of blue	C
I am or no I was Jim Carew	C
