Helen Seeking songs on sheep, wool etc... (30) RE: Seeking songs on sheep, wool etc... 28 Sep 23


The relevant question is: what's a Jumbuck?

Waltzing Matilda
[Verse 1]
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 boil
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 boil
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Up rode the squatter mounted on his thorough-bred
Down came the troopers One Two Three
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
Up jumped the swagman sprang in to 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

[Chorus]
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
