1.

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,
"You'll come a-waltzing
Matilda with me!"

2.

Down came a jumbuck
To drink at the water hole.
Up jumped the swagman
And grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as shoved
That jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me!"

3.

Down came the stockman,
Riding on his thoroughbred;
Down came the troopers,
One, two, three.
"Whose the jolly jumbuck
You've got in your tucker bag?"
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me.

4.

Up jumped the swagman
And sprang into the billabong.
"You'll never take me
Alive!" cried he.
And his ghost may be heard
As you pass the billabong,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me!"

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda with me.
And he sang as he watched
And waited 'till his billy boiled,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me.

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda with me.
And he sang as he shoved
That jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me!"

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda with me.
"Whose the jolly jumbuck
You've got in your tucker bag?"
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me.

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda with me.
And his ghost may be heard
As you pass the billabong,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me!"
