Waltzing Matilda
Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong Under the shade of a Coolabah tree And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"Down come a jumbuck to drink at the water holeUp jumped a swagman and grabbed him in glee And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me'".Up rode the Squatter a riding his thoroughbred Up rode the Trooper - one, two, three "Where's that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?", "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me".But the swagman he up and jumped in the water hole Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree, And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong, "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
