Waltzing Matilda
Die heimliche Hymne Australien's
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 Matilda with me.
He sang as he watched 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 that jumbuck in his tuckerbag You'll
come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
Down came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred
Up jumped the troppers, one, two, three
Where's that jolly jumbuck 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 he said.
His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
by Banjo Petterson
