 Popular Australian Song

  The Waltzing Matildia (A littel bit of the actual song)

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billibong,           

Under the shade of a colibah tree,                                                     

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

Refrain: 

"Who'll come a-waltzing, Matilda with me?"

Waltzing Matilda,Waltzing Matilda

Who'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?"

Along came a jumback to drink at the billibong,

Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,

And he sang as he stowed that jumbackin his tucker bag,

 

"Who'll come a-waltzing, Matilda with me?"

Waltzing Matilda,Waltzing Matilda

Who'll come a-waltzing, Matilda with me?

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

"Who'll come a-waltzing, Matilda with me?"
