Waltzing Matilda

Song by André Rieu

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"

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong

Up jumped the swagging and grabbed him with glee

And he sang as he stowed 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

And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag

"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me"

Down came the squatter mounted on his thorough-bred

Up came the troopers one, two, three

"Whose that jolly jumbuck 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

"Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?

You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me"

Up cut the swagging and jumped into the billabong

"You'll never catch me alive" said he

And his ghost may be heard if you pass by that billabong

"Who'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 if 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 if you pass by that billabong

"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me"
