Once, a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolabah tree And he sang as he watched and waited 'til 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 waited 'til his billy boiled "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me" Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he stowed 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 stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me" Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred Up rode the troopers, one, two, three "With that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?" "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me" Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me" "With that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?" "You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me" Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong "You'll never take me alive," said he And his ghost may 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 may 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 may be heard as you pass by that billabong You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
