Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah 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 the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee,
And he sang as he tucked to the 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 tucked to the jumbuck in his tucker 
bag,
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
"Where's the 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"
"Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker 
bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
Up jumped the swagman, 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".
