Verse:
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!'
 
Down came a jumpbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabed him with glee.
And he sang as he stowed that jumpbuck in his tucker bag,
'You'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 watched and waited 'till his billy boiled,
'You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!'
