Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabah tree
And he sang as he sat and watched his billy boiling
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

"Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda - 
Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"
And he sang as he sat and watched his billy boiling
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

Long came a jumbuck and he drank from the billabong
Down jumped the swagman and he grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"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 shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me!"

Down came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers - one, two, three
"Whose is that 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
Whose is the jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me."

Well, up jumped the swagman - and he leapt into the billabong
"You'll never catch me alive", said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?

"Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda - 
who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

"Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda - 
who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me."
