Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a coolibah tree, And he sang as he watch'd and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
Chorus:
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong, |
