Waltzing Matilda

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." 

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." 

Down came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred. 

Up came the troopers one, two, three. 

"Whose is that jumbuck that 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, 

"Whose is that jumbuck that you've got in your tucker bag? 

"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me." 

Up jumped the swagman and leapt into the billabong. 

"You'll never take me alive" said he, 

And his ghost may be heard if you pass by the billabong. 

"Who'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 if you pass by that billabong.

"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me."
