Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabah 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 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 watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up rode the troopers, one-two-three.
"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.
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
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 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.
