Waltzing Matilda
 
 

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
Who'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 tucker-bag,
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 tucker-bag,
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 tucker-bag,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Up rode a squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers one, two, three,
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag,"
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag,"
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman and jumped into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive!" said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the 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 the billabong,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
