John Williamson - Waltzing Matilda lyrics

rate me

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

Under the shade of a coolibah tree

And he sang as he watched and waited til' 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 til' his billy boiled

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong

Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee

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

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Up rode the squatter melded on his thoroughbred

Up rode the troopers one two three

With that jolly jumbug 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

With that jolly jumbug that you've got in your tucker bag

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

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 passing by the 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 passing by the billabong

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
