[Verse 1]
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till 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 watched and waited till his "Billy" boiled
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
[Verse 2]
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"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 shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
[Verse 3]
Up rode the squatter, mountеd on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopеrs, one, two, and three
"Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
[Chorus]
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me
"Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
[Verse 4]
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong
"You'll never catch me alive!" said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
[Chorus]
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
