camped beside the billabong,
Under the shade of a kool -air ball tree,
and waited till his billy boiled,
Well, you'll come a -waltzing
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
and waited till his billy boiled,
Well, you'll come a -waltzing
Well, down came a jumbuck
to drink at the waterhole,
that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a -waltzing Matilda with me.
and waited till his billy boiled,
Well, you'll come a -waltzing
Well, up rode the squatter,
riding on his thoroughbred,
that you've got in your tucker bag?
Well, you'll come a -waltzing
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a -waltzing Matilda with me
and waited till his billy boiled
Well, you'll come a -waltzing
Well, up jumped the swagman
and jumped into the billabong.
You'll never catch me alive,
and his voice may be heard
as he sings throughout the billabong.
But you'll come a -waltzing
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
you'll come a -waltzing Matilda with me.
and waited till his billy boiled
When you'll come a -waltzing
