Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"

Waltzing matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong.
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he stole that jumbuck in his tucker bag:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Waltzing matilda with me.

Down came the squatter, and mounted on his thoroughbred.
Down came the troopers, one, two, and three.
"Where?s that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Waltzing matilda with me.
(fiddle/mando solo) G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC x4

Up jumped the swagman he dove into the billabong.
"You'll never catch me alive!" said he
And his ghost can be heard all along the billabong:
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"
Waltzing matilda with me.
