Waltzing Matilda Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the Shade of a collabah tree: And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled `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 watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me! Down came the jumbuck to drink at the billabong. Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he shoved the jumbuck in his tuckerbag You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me! Chorus Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred; Down came the troopers-one, two, and tree, Whose the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me! Chorus Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong, You'll never catch me alive , said he. And his gost may be heard as you pass by that billabong Who'll come a-waltzing matilda with me? Chorus
