Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,

Under the shade of a Coolibah tree,

And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boil,

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 watched and waited till his billy boil

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,

And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in 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 shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag

You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thorough-bred

Down came the troopers One Two Three

Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag

You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda

You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me

Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag

You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman sprang in to the billabong

You'll never catch me alive said he,

And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that 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 pass by that billabong

You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
