Once a jolly swagman camped by a
billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah 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
that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved[N 1] 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.
Down came the troopers, one, two, and three.
"Whose is that jumbuck[N 2] 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."
