"WALTZING MATILDA"

Lyrics By:
ANDREW BARTON "BANJO" PATERSON


VERSE # 01:
Once a jolly swagman
Camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited
While his billy boiled,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

CHORUS:
Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing,
Matilda, with me.
And he sang as he sat and waited
While his billy boiled,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

VERSE # 02:
Out came a jumbuck
To drink at the billabong.
Up jumped the swagman
And seized him with glee.
And he sang as he shoved
That jumbuck in his tuckerbag,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

VERSE # 03:
Up rode the squatter,
Mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers,
One, two, three.
"Where's that jolly jumbuck
You've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a waltzing,
Matilda, with me."

VERSE # 04:
Up sprang the swagman,
And dove into the billabong.
"You'll never take me alive!", said he.
And his ghost may be heard
As you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Matilda, with me."
