Waltzing Matilda
Once a jolly swagman camped down by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolabah tree.
And he sang as he watched and he waited till his billy boiled,
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 watched and he waited till his billy boiled,
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
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
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.
Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers one, two, three.
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
Up jumped the swagman, and he sprang into the billabong
You'll never catch me alive said he
And his ghost can be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
And his ghost can be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
Some terms:
swag is a bundle of "stuff"
a swagman is person who roams the land and takes work only when
he wants. He carries his swag with him.
Waltzing Matilda is to live the life of a swagman
a billabong is like a marsh
a billy is a tin can you boil tea in
tucker is food
jumbuck is a young sheep
squatter is a landowner
