Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file



Once a jolly swagman
camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a
coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and
waited 'till his billy boiled,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."
And he sang as he watched and
waited 'till his billy boiled,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."

Down came a jumbuck to
drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and
grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that
jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck
in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."

Up rode the squatter, mounted
on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three.
"Where's that jolly jumbuck
you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."
"Where's that jolly jumbuck
you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."

Up jumped the swagman, sprang
into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive," said he.
And his ghost may be heard as
you pass by that billabong,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."
And he sang as he watched and
waited 'till his billy boiled,
"You'll come a waltzing,
Mathilda, with me."
