Waltzing Matilda

Lyrics

Oh, once a jolly swagman, camped by a 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, Matilda my darling
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, leaning on a water bag
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 ♪
 Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water hole
 Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
 Oh, he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, leaning on a water bag
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 ♪
 Oh, down came the squatter a-riding his thoroughbred
 (Down came the troopers, one, two, three)
 Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, leaning on your water bag
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 ♪
 Swagman, he up and jumped in the water hole
 Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree
 And his ghost may be heard as you ride by the billabong
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, leaning on a water bag
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
 Waltzing Matilda, leaning on a water bag
 You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
