Rod Stewart - Tom Traubert’s Blues lyrics
(tom waits)<br><br>Wasted and wounded<br>And it ain't what the moon did<br>I got what I paid for now<br>See you tomorrow<br>Hey frank can I borrow<br>A couple of bucks from you<br>To go waltzing matilda waltzing matilda<br>You'll go waltzing matilda with me<br><br>I'm an innocent victim<br>Of a blinded alley<br>And I'm tired of all these soldiers here<br>No-one speaks english<br>And everything's broken<br>And my strength is soaking away<br>To go waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda<br>You'll go a waltzing malitda with me<br><br>Now the dogs they are barking<br>And the taxi cab's parking<br>A lot they can do for me<br>I begged you to stab me<br>You tore my shirt open<br>And I'm down on my knees tonight<br><br>Old bushmills I staggered<br>You buried the dagger<br>Your silhouette window light<br>To go waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda<br>You'll go a waltzing matilda with me<br><br>Now I've lost my st. christopher<br>Now that I kissed her<br>And the one-arm bandit knows<br>And the maverick chinaman<br>With the cold-blooded sigh<br>And the girls down by the striptease shows go<br>Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda<br>You'll go a waltzing matilda with me<br><br>No I don't want your sympathy<br>Fugitives say<br>That the streets aren't for dreaming now<br>Manslaughter dragnet<br>And the ghost that sells memories<br>Want a piece of the action anyhow<br>Go waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda<br>You'll go waltzing matilda with me<br><br>And you can ask any sailor<br>And the keys from the jailor<br>And the old men in wheelchairs know<br>That matilda's the defendant<br>She killed about a hundred<br>And she follows wherever you may go<br>Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda<br>You'll go waltzing matilda with me<br><br>And it's a battered old suitcase<br>In a hotel someplace<br>And a wound that would never heal<br>No prima donnas the perfume is on<br>And old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey<br>And goodnight to the street-sweepers,<br>The night watchmen flame-keepers<br>And goodnight matilda too<br>Goodnight matilda too.
