Waltzing Matilda Songtext
von Slim Dusty

Once a jolly swagman
camped by a billybong
under the shade of a coolybam 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 jumbok
to drink at the billybong
Up jumped the swagman
and grabbed him with glee.
He sang as he shoved that
jumbuck in his tucker bag
you'll come awalzting 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 awaltzing Matilda with me.
Up rode the squatum
mounted on his thoroughbred
up rode the troupers one, two, three
Where is the jolly jumbuck
that you′ve got in your tucker bag
You'll come awaltzing, matilda, with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
you′ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
Where is the jolly jumbuck
that you've got in your tucker bag
You′ll come awalzing, you scoundrel, with me.
Up jumped the swagman
who sprang into the billybong
You'll never take me alive!" said he.
and his ghost may be heard
as you pass by that billybond.
You′ll come awalzing, matilda, with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
you'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
You'll come awalzing, matilda, with me.
Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
you′ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
