Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
He sat as he watched and waited 'till his billy boiled
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-Waltzing Matila with me
He sang as he waltched and waited 'till his billy boiled
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
He laughed as he shoved taht jumbuck in this tuckerbag
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilde with me

Down came the squatter mounted on this throughbred
Up jumped the troopers, one, two, three
Where's that jolly jumuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

The swagman he got up and jumped into that billabong
You'll never catch me alive said he
His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda wih me
