Once a jolly swagman camped by the billabong, Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong 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 sat and waited by the billabong Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me. Along comes a jambuck to drink up at the waterhole Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he said as he put the jumbuck in his tuckerbag You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda Who'lll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me. Along comes a squatter, riding on a thoroughbred, Up steps the troopers, one, two, three. "where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag? You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me. Well the swagman he up and jumped into the waterhole Dorwning himself by the coolibah tree And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong 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 sat and waited by the billabong Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
