verse 1 Once a jolly swagman camp'd by a billabong under the shade of a cool-i-bah tree and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a waltzing Ma-til-da with me Chorus Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, you'll come a waltzing Ma-til-da with me and he sang as watched and waited till his billy boiled you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me verse 2 Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water-hole Up Jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he stowed that jumpbuck in his tucker bag You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me verse 3 Down came the Squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred Down came the troopers, one , two and three Whose is that jumbuck you've got in ya tucker-bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me verse 4 But the swagman he up and jumped in the water-hole Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
