The Seekers - Waltzing Matilda - Queensland Version Lyrics

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabahs tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled
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 watched and waited till his Billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed the 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 watched and waited till his Billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Matilda 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 Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
And he sang as he watched and waited till his Billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong
You'll never take me alive said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that 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 watched and waited till his Billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
