Once a jolly swagman was camping by the billabong,
Under the shade of the coolibah tree;
And he sang as he watched and he waited while 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 he waited while his billy boiled:
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman to capture him with glee;
And he sang as he shoved the jolly 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 the jolly jumbuck in his tucker bag:
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
Down came the trooper, he was mounted on his thoroughbred,
He saw the squatter counting: one, two, three;
And to the swagman he said, If there's a jumbuck in your tuckerbag,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me;
If there's a jumbuck hiding in your tucker bag,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
The swagman he jumped up and swam into the billabong,
You'll never catch me alive, said he;
And his ghost may still be heard singing by the 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 still be heard singing by the 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 still be heard singing by the 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 still be heard singing by the billabong:
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
[Fading]: Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
