Waltzing Matilda Lyrics & Chords By Slim Dusty

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 boiled

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

"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"

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,

Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,

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"

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 thoroughbred,

Up rode the troopers, one, two, three,

"With the jolly jumbuck that 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"

"With the jolly jumbuck that you've got in your tucker bag?",

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, you scoundrel with me".



Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,

"You'll never take 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"

His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."

"Oh, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."
