Lyrics Waltzing Matilda 2000 - John Williamson

There 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

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up got the swaggie and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed 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 that jumbuck in his tucker-bag
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Down came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred
Up came the troopers one two three
Who's the 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
Who's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

Up got the swaggie and jumped 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 his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
