John Williamson Waltzing Matilda Lyrics

Waltzing Matilda Lyrics

Oh there once was a swagman camped in a billabong

Under the shade of a
coolibah tree

And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling

Who'll
come a waltzing Matilda with me



Chorus

Who'll come a waltzing
Matilda my darling

Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing
Matilda and leading a water bag

Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with
me



Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water hole

Up jumped the
swagman and grabbed him with glee

And he sang as he stowed him away in his
tucker bag

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me



Down came the
squatter a riding on his thoroughbred

Down came the troopers one two
three

Whose is that jumbuck you've got in the tucker bag

You'll come a
waltzing Matilda with me



But the swagman he up and he jumped into the
water hole

Drowning 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
