Waltzing Matilda

Lyrics

Once a jolly swagman camped by the billabong
 Under the shade of a coolibah tree
 He sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled
 "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
 Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
 "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
 ♪
 Along comes a jumbuck to drink up at the waterhole
 Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
 And he said as he put the jumbuck in his tucker bag
 "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
 Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
 "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
 ♪
 Along comes the squatter riding on a thoroughbred
 Up steps the trooper, 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, waltzing Matilda
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 ♪
 Well, the swagman, he up and jumped into the waterhole
 Drowning himself by the coolibah tree
 And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong
 "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
 Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
 "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
 ♪
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
