"
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,
|
|
"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."
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
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 sprang into the billabong;
|
|
"You'll
never catch 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!"
