Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong<br />Under the shade of a Coolabah tree<br />And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled<br />"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"<br />Down come a jumbuck to drink at the water hole<br />Up jumped a swagman and grabbed him in glee<br />And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag<br />"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me'".<br />Up rode the Squatter a riding his thoroughbred<br />Up rode the Trooper - one, two, three<br />"Where's that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",<br />"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me".<br />But the swagman he up and jumped in the water hole<br />Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree,<br />And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong,<br />"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
