Lyrics

[00:20.19] Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now
[00:34.17] See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
[00:46.61] To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
[00:55.75] You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
[01:05.05] I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
[01:12.00] And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
[01:19.19] No one speaks English, and everything's broken, and my Stacys are soaking wet
[01:31.54] To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
[01:40.98] You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
[01:49.88] Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking
[01:57.07] A lot they can do for me
[02:04.04] I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,
[02:10.65] And I'm down on my knees tonight
[02:17.49] Old Bushmill's I staggered, you'd bury the dagger
[02:24.56] In your silhouette window light
[02:30.56] To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
[02:39.59] You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
[02:48.89] Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her
[02:56.34] And the one-armed bandit knows
[03:03.33] And the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,
[03:09.93] And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go
[03:19.03] Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
[03:25.73] You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
[03:34.87] No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say
[03:42.07] That the streets aren't for dreaming now
[03:49.42] And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
[03:55.92] They want a piece of the action anyhow
[04:03.16] Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
[04:12.01] You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
[04:20.96] And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,
[04:28.35] And the old men in wheelchairs know
[04:35.26] And Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred,
[04:41.84] And she follows wherever you may go
[04:50.60] Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
[04:57.73] You'll go waltzing Matilda with me
[05:09.84] And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,
[05:17.99] And a wound that will never heal
[05:25.21] No prima donna, the perfume is on an
[05:31.82] Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
[05:39.10] And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers
[05:46.67] And goodnight to Matilda, too
