Wasted and wounded
And 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 Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
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 strength is soaking away to go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Malitda with me
Now the dogs they 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 busmills I staggered
You burried the dagger
Your silhouette window light to go
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
Now I've lost my St. Christopher
Now that I kissed her
And the one-arm bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman
With the cold-blooded sigh
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me
No, I don't want your sympathy, fugitives say
That the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets
And the ghost that sell memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow, go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And you can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailor
And the old man in a wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant
She killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
And it's a battered old suitcase
In a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No prima donnas, the perfume is on
And old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers
The night watchmen, flame keepers
And goodnight Matilda too
Goodnight Matilda too
