Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman
Sat beside a billabong
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree
And he sang as he sat
And rested 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 sat
And rested 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
And seized him with glee
And he sang as he stowed that
Jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me

Down came a squatter
Mounted on his thoroughbred
Down come the troopers, one, two, three
"Where's that jolly jumbuck
That you've got in your tucker bag?"
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me

Up jumped the swagman
And plunged into the billabong
"You'll never catch me alive," cried he
And his ghost may be heard
As you ride beside 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 be heard
As you ride beside the billabong
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me
