Once a jolly swagman camp'd by a billabong
under the shade of a cool-i-bah tree and he
sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Ma-til-da with me
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
you'll come a waltzing Ma-til-da with me and he
sang as watched and waited till his billy boiled
you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the wqater-hole
Up Jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed that jumpbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
Down came the Squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers, one , two and three
Whose is that jumbuck you've got in ya tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
But the swagman he up and jumped in the water-hole
Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
