[Intro]                       [Verse] Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree He sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Chorus] Waltzing Matilda Matilda my darling You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me He sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Verse] Well down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Chorus] Waltzing Matilda Matilda my darling You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Verse] 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 [Chorus] Waltzing Matilda Matilda my darling 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 [Verse] Well up jumped the swagman and jumped in the billabong You’ll never take me alive said he His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Chorus] Waltzing Matilda Matilda my darling You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me [Outro]                       (Repeat and fade)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un joyeux vagabond qui campait près d'un plan d'eau, profitant de la fraîcheur d'un arbre. Tout en surveillant son bouillon qui bout, il chante et attend son heure. L'intrigue se complique lorsque le vagabond réussit à capturer un mouton, mais il est ensuite confronté par un propriétaire de terre et des policiers qui viennent le chercher. Pour échapper à cette situation, il saute dans l'eau du billabong, disant qu'il ne se laissera pas prendre vivant, et son esprit hanterait les lieux. Cette mélodie est souvent considérée comme un hymne non officiel de l'Australie, évoquant des thèmes de liberté et d'aventure, tout en plongeant dans la culture australienne rurale. L'atmosphère est à la fois joyeuse et mélancolique, capturant l'esprit d'un pays vaste et sauvage.
