Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a Coolibah tree And he sang, and he watched, and waited till his billy boiled You come a waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you come a waltzing Matilda with me And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You come a waltzing Matilda with me Along came a jumbuck to drink from that billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag You come a waltzing Matilda with me Chorus replace 2nd line with "And he sane as he " Down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred, Up jumped the troopers, One, Two, Three that jolly jumbuck you got in your tucker bag? You come a waltzing Matilda with me Chorus replace 2nd line with "Who that jolly " Up jumped the swagman and jumped right in the billabong, never get me alive said he, And his ghost may be heard as you pass on by that billabong, You come a waltzing Matilda with me Chorus replace 2nd line with "And his ghost "
