Waltzing Mathilda Songtext
von Otto Brandenburg

Once a jolly swagman
Camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he laughed and he sang
As he sat down by the billabong
You′ll come a waltzing Matilda with me
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
And he laughed and he sang
As he sat down by the billabong
You′ll come a waltzing Matilda with me
Down came a jumbuck
To drink from the billabong
Up jumped the swagman
And gobbled him with glee
And he laughed and he sang
As he tucked him in his tucker bag
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me


And he laughed and he sang
As he tucked him in his tucker bag
You′ll come a waltzing Matilda with me
Down came the court men
Mounted on their thoroughbreds
Down came the troopers
One, two, three
Where′s the jolly jumbuck
That you 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
Where's the jolly jumbuck
That you got in your tucker bag
You′ll come a waltzing Matilda with me
Up jumped the swagman
And jumped into the billabong
You'll never take me alive, said he
And his song may be heard
As you walk down by the billabong
You′ll come a waltzing Matilda with me
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
And his song may be heard
As you walk down by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
