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.
