Waltzing Matilda
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers -- one, two, three
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong
"You'll never catch me alive," said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers -- one, two, three
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong
"You'll never catch me alive," said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
