Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong
Under the shade of a cooliba tree
And he sang as he sat and he waited by the billabong
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 sat and he waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Down came a jumbuck to drink beside him the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee
And he sang as he talked
To the jumbo and 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 talked to the jumbuck in his tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Down came the stockman riding on sterbid
Down came 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
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong
You'll never catch me alive cried he
And his ghost
May be heard as you ride beside the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
Waltzing matilda
Waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And his ghost may be heard
As you ride beside the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
