Waltzing Matilda |
|
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, |
|
Under the shade of a coolibah tree. |
|
He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, |
|
\"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.\" |
|
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', |
|
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. |
|
He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, |
|
\"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.\" |
|
Well, down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong; |
|
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee. |
|
He laughed as he stowed the jumbuck in his tucker-bag, |
|
\"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.\" |
|
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', |
|
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. |
|
He laughed as he stowed the jumbuck in his tucker-bag, |
|
\"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.\" |
|
Well, up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred; |
|
Up rode the troopers -- one, two, three. |
|
\"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag? |
|
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.\" |
|
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', |
|
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. |
|
\"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag? |
|
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.\" |
|
Well, up jumped the swagman and jumped into the billabong; |
|
\"You'll never take me alive,\" said he. |
|
His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong, |
|
\"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.\" |
|
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', |
|
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. |
|
His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong, |
|
\"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.\" |
