Waltzing Matilda items for sale here

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

Under the shade of a coolibah tree…

And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled

"Who’ll come a waltzing matilda with me?"

"Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda, who’ll come a waltzing matilda with me?"

And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled

"Who’ll come a waltzing matilda with me??"

Up came a jumbuck to drink out that waterhole

Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee

And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag

"You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me!!"

Chorus .....

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred

Up came the troopers, one! two!! three!!!

"Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag?

You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me!!"

Chorus .....

Up jumped the swagman, sprang into that billabong

"You’ll never catch me alive!" said he..

And his GHOST (sing softly and slowly) may be heard as you pass

by that billabong..

"You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me!"

"Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda, who’ll come a waltzing matilda with me?"

And his GHOST (sing softly and slowly) may be heard

as you pass by that billabong

"Who’ll come a waltzing matilda with me?"
