Waltzing Mathildas Songtext
von The Freeloaders

Born on the wrong side of fortune and fame
Nary a soul can remember their name

A funny thing happened when they turned up the box
The girls started dancing or trotting a fox

Lately
Lately
Lately started feeling ashamed
They′re the Waltzing Mathildas please remember their name


Glided through life like they waltzed on the floor
No matter what hit them they'd come back for more
Til the day when the eldest fell ill
They danced on her grave on an Arlington hill

Lately
Lately
Lately feeling ashamed
They′re the Waltzing Mathildas please remember their name

The band began playing a song from long ago
It wasn't quite fast but it wasn't quite slow
The dance floor was empty no one could be found
Except a single Mathilda waltzing around


Lately
Lately
Lately I started feeling ashamed
They′re the Waltzing Matildas please remember their name
