Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
|
Under the shade of a coolibah tree.
|
And he sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
|
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
|
|
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
|
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
|
And he sang as he shoved the 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 the 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 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.
