Seekers - Waltzing Matilda Lyrics
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,Under the shade of a coolibah tree.He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin',You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."Well, down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong;Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.He laughed as he stowed the jumbuck in his tucker-bag,"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin',You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.He laughed as he stowed the jumbuck in his tucker-bag,"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."Well, up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred;Up rode the troopers -- one, two, three."Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin',You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."Well, up jumped the swagman and jumped into the billabong;"You'll never take me alive," said he.His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin',You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
