On the Melbourne to Warrnambool train for two and a half hours he sang
The happy go lucky old Jim from Terang
He entertained all of us in the carriage and none of him did complain
And we applauded him at the end of every song and asked him to sing again
He had a few beers in and was in the mood for song
And some songs we knew with him we sang along
We could only feel amazed that the words of so many old songs he knew
The Jims of the World to say the least are few
Gray haired and wrinkled he must have been close to if not eighty with gaps in his teeth
Such a character everyday one does not meet
One of advanced years with the mind of a happy boy
His great gift of life he surely does enjoy
Many old time favorite songs he so beautifully sang
And he left the train singing in his Hometown of Terang.
