Waltzing Matilda
[Verse 1]
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a cool bah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me
[Chorus]
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
[Verse 2]
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 Mathilda with me.
[Chorus]
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
[Verse 3]
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 Mathilda with me.
[Chorus]
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
[Verse 4]
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 Mathilda with me
[Chorus]
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
[Chorus]
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.
