  • Jim Jackson (Australian rules footballer)

    James "Jim" Jackson (28 April 1890 – 29 August 1976) was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda, Collingwood and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League.

    The son of Thomas Charles Jackson and Martha Anne Cheetham, Jim Jackson was a wingman and had a long career with 17 years between his first and last season. He started his career at St Kilda in 1909 but after managing just one game crossed to Collingwood the following year. He was unlucky not to play in a premiership team during his time at the Magpies as he was on military service when they won in 1917 and 1919. He finished his career at Hawthorn, firstly in the VFA and then when the club joined the VFL in 1925 when he was appointed their inaugural captain.

    In 1932 Jackson returned to Hawthorn as their non-playing coach but the Hawks finished with just three wins and the wooden spoon.

    Old Dog Blue

    by: Jim Jackson

    I’m goin’ back to where I’m come
    I’m goin’ back to where I’m come
    I’m goin’ back to Giles County
    My wife died and left me a bounty
    Way them pretty girls ganged around
    That’s the reason why I’m goin’ to Giles County
    I had an old dog whose name was Blue
    You know that Blue was mighty true
    You know Blue was a good old dog
    Blue treed a ‘possum in a hollow log
    You know from that he’s a good old dog
    Blue treed a ‘possum out on a limb
    Blue looked at me and I looked at him
    Grabbed that ‘possum and put him in a sack
    “Do fer me, Blue, ’til I get back.”
    “Here, Ring! Yeah, Ring Here!
    Here Ring! Hey, Ring here!”
    Who’s been here since I been gone
    Little bitty girl with the red dress on
    Who’s been here since I been gone
    Little bitty girl with the red dress on
    Old Blue’s feet was big and round
    Old Blue’s feets was big and round
    Never ‘lowed a ‘possum to tech the ground
    Me and Blue went out on a hunt
    Blue treed a ‘possum in a hollow stump
    You know that Blue was a good old dog
    Blue treed a ‘possum in a hollow log
    You know from that he’s a good old dog
    Old Blue died and I dug his grave
    I dug his grave with a silver spade
    I let him down with a golden chain
    And every link I called his name
    Go on Blue you good dog you
    Go on Blue you good dog you
    Blue laid down and died like a man
    Blue laid down and died like a man
    Now he’s treein’ ‘possums in the promised land
    I’m goin’ to tell you this jes’ to let you know
    Old Blue’s gone where the good dogs go
    When I hear old Blue bark
    When I hear old Blue bark
    Blue’s treed a ‘possum in Noah’s ark
