Lyrics
Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong,
Under the shade of a coulibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong,

`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 sat and waited by the billabong,
`You`ll come a waltzing matilda with me`.
Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee
And he sang as he tucked jumbuck in his tuckerbag,
`You`ll come a waltzing matilda with me`.
(chorus)
Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three.
`Where`s the jolly jumbuck you`ve got in your tuckerbag?`
`You`ll come a waltzing matilda with me`.
(chorus)
Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong,
`You`ll never catch me alive`, cried he!
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong,
`You`ll come a waltzing matilda with me`.
(chorus)
