Intro: verse 1 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" Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda 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 2 Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee He sang as he shoved 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 He sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag: "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me" verse 3 Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred Up rode the troopers: one, two, three "Where's that jolly jumbuck that 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 "Where's that jolly jumbuck that you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me" verse 4 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 His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"
