Waltzing Matilda (Tom Traubert's Blues)

FRANK BLUEKA - Waltzing Matilda (Tom Traubert's Blues, Tom Waits)

Wasted and wounded

It ain't what the moon did

I've got what I paid for now

See you tomorrow

Hey Frank can I borrow

A couple of bucks from you

To go waltzing Mathilda

Waltzing Mathilda

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

And I'm an innocent victim

Of a blinded alley

And I'm tired of all these soldiers here

No one speaks English

And everything's broken

And my Stacys are soaking wet

So go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda

Go waltzing Mathilda with me

The dogs are barking

And the taxi cab's parking

A lot they can do for me

I begged you to stab me

You tore my shirt open

And I'm down on my knees tonight

Old Bushmill's I staggered

You'd bury the dagger

In your silhouette window light

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

And it's a battered old suitcase

Of a hotel someplace

And a wound that will never heal

No prima donnas

The perfume is on

An old shirt that is stained with

Blood and whiskey

Goodnight to the street sweepers

The watchman, the flame keepers

And goodnight to Mathilda too

And goodnight to Mathilda too

And goodnight to Mathilda too
