Waltzing Matilda (Audio Sample and Lyrics)

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
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 sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee
And he sang as he tucked jumbuck in his tuckerbag
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 sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbread,
Down came the troopers, one , two, three!
Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
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 sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong
“You'll never catch me alive!” cried he,
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong,
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 sat and waited by the billabong
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 sat and waited by the billabong…
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
