Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman stopped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he laughed and he sang
As he sat down by the billabong
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me
He laughed and he sang
As he sat down by the billabong
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck
To drink from the billabong
Up jumped the swagman
And gobbled him with glee
And he laughed and he sang
As he tucked him in his tucker bag
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me
He laughed and he sang
As he tucked him in his tucker bag
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Well, down came the court men
Mounted on the thoroughbreds
Down came the troopers one, two, three
Where's that jolly jumbuck
That you've got in your tucker bag?
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me
Where's that jolly jumbuck
That you've got in your tucker bag?
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Well, up jumped the swagman
And jumped into the billabong
You'll never take me alive said he!
And his song may be heard
As you walk by the billabong
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me
And his song may be heard
As you walk down by the billabong
You come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
