- Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
- Under the shad of a coolabah tree,
- and he sang as he watched and waited ’til his billy boiled
- “Who’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 shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
- “You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”.

Chorus
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
“Who’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,

- Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
- Down 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
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

- Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
- “You’ll never take me alive”, said he,
- And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
- “You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”.
