Waltzing Matilda (Remastered)
Burl Ives - Walzing Matilda
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibak tree.
And he sang as he watched and waited till the billy boiled,
"You'll come a-wlazing Matilda with me!"
"Walzing Matilda, Walzing Matilda,
You'll come a-walzing Matilda with me!"
And he sang as he watched...
Oh, up came a jumbuck and he drank at the billabong.
Up jumped the swagman and he grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-walzing Matilda with me!"
Well, up came the squatter and he's mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up came the troopers one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-walzing Matlida with me!"
Up jumped the swagman and he jumped into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive!" said he.
And his gost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
"You'll come a-walzing Matilda with me!"

You'll come a-walzing Matilda with me!"
And he sang as he watched...
