Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman camp'd by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watch'd and waited till his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me?"

Chorus:
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he watch'd and waited till his billy boiled,
You 'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jump'd 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."

Chorus:
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 came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me."

Chorus:
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a' waltzing Matilda with me.

Up jump'd the swagman, 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."

Chorus:
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.
