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
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
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 tuckerbag,
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 tuckerbag
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 sprang into the billabong
You’ll never catch me alive said he,
And is 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
