Letra da Música Waltzing Mathilda de Folkaholics

Once a jolly swagman camped by the billabong
Under the shades of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink by the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he shoved the jumbuck in his tucker back
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me
And he sang as he shoved the jumbuck in his tucker back
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Up rode the troopers one two and three
Where's that bloody jumbuck you've got in your tucker back?
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me
Where's that bloody jumbuck you've got in your tucker back?
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

So up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong
You'll never catch me alive, said he
And his ghost can be heard if you watch down that billabong
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me
And his ghost can be heard if you watch down that billabong
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me

Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me
And his ghost can be heard if you watch down that billabong
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me
You've come a-Waltzing Mathilda with me
