[Intro] [Verse] Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree He sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Chorus] Waltzing Matilda Matilda my darling You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me He sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Verse] Well down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Chorus] Waltzing Matilda Matilda my darling You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Verse] Well up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred Up rode the troopers - one two three Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker-bag? You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Chorus] Waltzing Matilda Matilda my darling You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker-bag? You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Verse] Well up jumped the swagman and jumped in the billabong You’ll never take me alive said he His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Chorus] Waltzing Matilda Matilda my darling You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Outro] (Repeat and fade)
