D A7 Bm G
sang as watched and waited till his billy boiled
D/A A7 D
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 that jumpbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
Up rode the Squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers, one , two, three
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in ya tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
Up jumped the Swagman and sprang 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
Chorus 3rd line variations
- And he sang as he watched and waited til his billy boild
- And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag
- Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag
- And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
