Oh there once was a swagman camped in a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me Chorus 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 Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water hole Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me Down came the squatter a riding on his thoroughbred Down came the troopers one two three Whose is that jumbuck you've got in the tucker bag You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me But the swagman he up and he jumped into the water hole Drowning himself by the coolibah tree And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
