“Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong,
\nUnder the shade of a coolibah tree,
\nAnd he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
\nYou’ll come a waltzing maltilda with me<\/p>\n
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me
\nand he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.<\/p>\n
Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong
\nUp jumped the swagman and seized him with glee
\nAnd he sang as he tucked jumbuck in his tuckerbag
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me<\/p>\n
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me
\nAnd he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.<\/p>\n
Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbred,
\nDown came the troopers, one, two, three.
\n“Where’s the jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tuckerbag?
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me”<\/p>\n
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me
\nAnd he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.<\/p>\n
Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong,
\n“You’ll never catch me alive,” cried he
\nAnd his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong,
\nYou’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.” Banjo Paterson.
