Letra Waltzing Matilda de Seekers original
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a coolibah tree. He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, 'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.' Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, 'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.' Well, down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong; Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee. He laughed as he stowed the jumbuck in his tucker-bag, 'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.' Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. He laughed as he stowed the jumbuck in his tucker-bag, 'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.' Well, up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred; Up rode the troopers -- one, two, three. 'Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag? You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.' Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. 'Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag? You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.' Well, up jumped the swagman and jumped into the billabong; 'You'll never take me alive,' said he. His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong, 'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.' Waltzing Matilda, Matilda, my darlin', You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me. His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong, 'You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.'
