Waltzing Matilda-By Banjo Patterson
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coulibah 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.
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stole that 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 stole that jumbuck in his tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
Up rolled the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up rolled the troopers, one, two, three.
With 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
With 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 take me alive," said he
And his ghost may be heard as your passing 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 your passing by that billabong,
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
