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."
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."
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong.
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck 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 sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred.
Down came 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, waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
"Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong.
"You'll never catch me alive", said he.
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Jednom je veseli dugohodač dugih staza zastao pored jezera
Pod hlad kolihah drveta
I onda je zapaveo, čekao i gledao dok se njegov čaj ne skuva
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti".
Dugo hodaci, dugo hodaci
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti"
I onda je zapaveo dok je čekao i gledao dok se njegov čaj skuva
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti".
Onda skoči ovčica da se napije malo vode sa jezera
Onda skoči duhohodač i izgrabije lukavo
I onda je zapevao dok je gurao ovčicu u rancu koju je nosio
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti".
Dugo hodaci, dugo hodaci
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti"
I onda je zapevao dok je gurao ovčicu u rancu koju je nosio
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti".
Onda se pojavio farmer grndi na konju rasnome
Dođoše policajci, jedan, drugi i treći
"Čija je ta vesela ovčica koju nosiš u rancu?"
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti".
Dugo hodaci, dugo hodaci
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti"
"Čija je ta vesela ovčica koju nosiš u rancu?"
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti".
Trgne se dugohodač i skoči u jezeru
"Nikad me nećete uhvatiti živog" reče
I njegov duh te možda sluša dok prolaziš kraj jezera
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti".
Dugo hodaci, dugo hodaci
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti"
I njegov duh te možda sluša dok prolaziš kraj jezera
"Dugo češ pešačiti samnom i ti".
