{title:Waltzing Mathilda}

{st:Traditional}

[C]Once a jolly [G]swagman camped beside a [F]billabong

[C]Under the shade of a [G]coolibah tree,

And he [C]sang as he [G]watched and [C]waited 'till his [F]billy boiled,

[C]"You'll come a waltzing, Ma[G]thilda, with [C]me."

{c:Chorus:}

[C]"Waltzing Mathilda, [F]waltzing Mathilda,

[C]You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with [G]me."

And he [C]sang as he [G]watched and [C]waited 'till his [F]billy boiled,

[C]"You'll come a waltzing, Ma[G]thilda, with [C]me."

Down came a jumpbuck to drink at the 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, Mathilda, with me."

{c:Chorus.}

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,

Down came the troopers, one, two, three.

"Where's that jolly jumpbuck you've got in your tucker bag?

You'll come a waltzing, Mathilda, with me."

{c:Chorus.}

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."

{c:Chorus.}
