Jimmie Rodgers (US-WA) - Waltzing Matilda lyrics

Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong Under the shade of a coulibah tree And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee And he sang as he tucked jumbuck in his tuckerbag 'You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbred Down came the troopers, one, two, three Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag? You'll come a waltzing matilda with me' Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong You'll never catch me alive, cried he! And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
