Waltzing Matilda
Lyrics by A. B. Paterson

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and watched his billy boiling
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

Chorus:

Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me,
Waltzing Matilda and leave me a water bag
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

Along came a jumbuck and he drank from the billabong,
Down jumped the swagman and he grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

Down came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
Whose is the jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

Well up jumped the swagman and he leapt into the billabong,
He drowned himself by the coolibah tree,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
