WALTZING MATILDA by A.B. "Banjo" Paterson

Oh there once was a swagman camped in the billabongs,
  Under the shade of a Coolibah tree;
And he sang as he looked at the old billy boiling
  "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."


  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.


Up came the jumbuck to drink at the waterhole,
  Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee;
And he sang as he put him away in his tucker-bag,
  "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."


  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.


Up came the squatter a-riding his thoroughbred;
  Up came the policeman - one, two, and three.
"Whose is the jumbuck you've got in the tucker-bag?
  You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with we."


  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.


Up sprang the swagman and jumped into the waterhole,
  Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree;
And his voice can be heard as it sings in the billabongs,
  "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."


  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.
