Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You will come a - Waltzing Matilda,with me
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
“You will come a - Waltzing Matilda,with me”
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he san g as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag: “You will come a - Waltzing Matilda,with me”
