Once a jolly swagman camped beside a baillabong.
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.
Waltzing Matilda�?Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing�?Matilda�?with me.
Down came a jumbuck to drink beside 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.
Up road 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
Up jumped the swagman�?right into the billabong.
You'll never catch me alive�?said he.
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong
You'll came a-waltzing�?Matilda�?with me.
