Popular Australian 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?"
