Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree
He sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boil
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darling
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
He sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Well, down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darling
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Well, up rode the squatter mounted on his thorough-bred
Up rode the troopers, one, two, three
Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darling
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.

Well, up jumped the swagman and jumped into the billabong
You'll never take me alive, said he
His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darling
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
