............. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, ...
..................... Under the shade of a coolibah tree. ................
..... He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, .....
,,,......... "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me." .............
............... Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', ..................
............ You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. ..................
... He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, ......
.......... "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me." ................
..... Well, down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong; ......
....... Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee. ......
.... He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag,...
........... "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. ...............
................ Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', ..................
............. You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me". ................
.... He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag,....
............ "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me." ..............
.. Well, up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred; ...
................. Up rode the troopers -- one, two, three. .................
. "Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
............. "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me ................

Well, up jumped the swagman and jumped into the billabong;
.................. "You'll never take me alive," said he. ...................
........ His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong, .....
............ "You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me." ..............
