Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited til' 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 til' his billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed that jumbug in his tucker bag
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 stowed that jumbug in his tucker bag
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Up rode the squatter melded on his thoroughbred
Up rode the troopers one two three
With that jolly jumbug that you've got in your tucker bag
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
With that jolly jumbug that you've got in your tucker bag
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong
you'll never take me alive said he
And his ghost may be heard as you passing by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And his ghost may be heard as you passing by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
