Waltzing Matilda - John Williamson

Oh there once was a swagman camped in a billabong

Under the shade of a coolibah tree

And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling

Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Chorus

Who'll come a waltzing Matilda my darling

Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda and leading a water bag

Who'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

And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came the squatter a riding on his thoroughbred

Down came the troopers one two three

Whose is that jumbuck you've got in the tucker bag

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

But the swagman he up and he jumped into the water hole

Drowning himself by the coolibah tree

And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong

Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
