Once a jolly swagman
camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a
cul -de -bar tree
And he sang as he watched
and waited till his billy boiled
You'll come a -waltzing
Matilda with me
Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a -waltzing Mat
ilda with me.
And he sang as he watched,
and waited till his lily boiled,
You'll come a -waltzing
Matilda with me.
Down came a jumbuck to
drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the Swagman,
and he grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jum
buck 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 stowed that jum
buck in his tucker bag.
You'll come a -waltzing
Matilda with me.
Down came the squatter,
mounted on his horror -bred.
Up rode the troopers,
one, two, three.
Whose is the 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 Mat
ilda with me.
Who's that jolly jumbuck
you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a -waltzing
Matilda with me.
Up jumped the swagman,
he sprang into that billabong.
You'll never take me alive,
said he.
And his ghost may be heard,
as you pass by that billabong.
You'll come waltzing Mat
ilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You'll come waltzing Mat
ilda with me.
And his ghost may be heard,
as you pass by that billabong.
Who'll come a -waltzing
Matilda with me?
