There once was a 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

(Chorus)
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy boiled
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water hole
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed him 
away in his tucker bag
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

(Chorus)

Down came the squatter 
a riding on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers one two three
Whose is that jumbuck 
you've got in the tucker bag
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

(Chorus)

Up jumped the swagman 
and sprang into the billabong
Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree
And his ghost may be heard 
as it sings in the billabong
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
