Waltzing Matilda    ..........Homepage

1. 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
   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 watched and waited till his billy boiled
   You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
2. Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
   Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
   And he sang as he stowed 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 stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
   You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
3. Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred
   Up rode the troopers one, two, three
   Whose 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
   Whose that jolly jumbuck, you've got in your tuckerbag
   You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
4. Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong
   "You’ll never take me alive" said he
   And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that 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 that billabong
   You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
