Waltzing Matilda

Lyrics for Waltzing Matilda

Oh, once a jolly swagman, camped by a billabong Under the shade of a Coolibah tree He sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, leaning on a water bag You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water hole Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee Oh, he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, leaning on a water bag You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Oh, down came the squatter a-riding his thoroughbred (Down came the troopers, one, two, three) Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, leaning on your water bag You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Swagman, he up and jumped in the water hole Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree And his ghost may be heard as you ride by the billabong You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, leaning on a water bag You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda, leaning on a water bag You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
