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
