WALTZING MATILDA

There Once was a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,

Under the shade of a coolibah tree,

And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,

Up jumped the swaggie (swagman) and grabbed him with glee,

And he sang as he stowed (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 stowed (shoved) that jumbuck in his tucker bag,

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

Down came (Up rode) the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,

Up came (rode) the troopers, one, two, three,

"Whose's (Where'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"

"Whose's (Where's) that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",

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

Up got (jumped) the swaggie (swagman) and jumped (sprang) into the billabong,

"You'll never catch (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."

(EVERYBODY sing!)

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."

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."
