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
"Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?"
And he sang as he watched and waited til' his billy boiled
"Who'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 shoved that jumbuck 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 shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!"

Up rode a squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers one, two, three
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in you tucker bag?"
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!"
"Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in you tucker bag?"
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!"

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong
"You'll never catch me alive!!" said he
And his ghost maybe heard as you pass by that billabong
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!"
And his ghost maybe heard as you pass by that billabong
"Youll come a watzing matilda with me!"
