Waltzing Matilda (Queensland Version)

• Oh, there once was a swagman camped in the billabong,
• Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
• And he sang as he looked at the old billy boiling,
• Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
•  
• Chorus
•  
• Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda my darling,
• Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
• Waltzing Matilda and leading a waterbag,
• Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
•  
• Down came the jumbuck to drink at the water-hole,
• Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
• And he sang as he put him away in his tucker-bag,
• You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
•  
• Up came the Squatter a-ridding his thoroughbred,
• Up came Policemen - one, two and three,
• Whose is that jumbuck you've got in the tucker-bag,
• You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
•  
• The swagman he up and he jumped in the water-hole,
• Drowning himself by the coolibah tree,
• And his ghost may be heard as it sings by the billabong,
• Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
