Waltzing Matilda

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

"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

Down come a jumbuck to drink at the water hole

Up jumped a swagman and grabbed him in glee

And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag

"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me'"

Up rode the Squatter a riding his thoroughbred

Up rode the Trooper - one, two, three

"Where's that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"

"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"

But the swagman he up and jumped in the water hole

Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree

And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong

"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
