Waltzing Matilda Edit (Tom Traubert's Blues)

Waltzing Matilda Edit (Tom Traubert's Blues) - Tommy Fleming

Wasted and wounded and it ain't what the moon did

I got what I paid for now

See you tomorrow hey Frank can I borrow

A couple of bucks from you to go

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda

You'll go Waltzing Matilda with me

I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley

And I'm tired of all these soldiers here

No one speaks English and everything's broken

And my strength is soaking away to go

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda

You'll go Waltzing Matilda with me

Now I've lost my St Christopher

Now that I kissed her

And the one armed bandit knows

And the Maverick Chinaman

With the cold blooded smile

And the girls down by the striptease shows go

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda

You'll go Waltzing Matilda with me

No I don't want your sympathy fugitives say

That the streets ain't for dreamin' now

Manslaughter dragnets and the ghost that sells memories

Want a piece of the action anyhow go

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda

You'll go Waltzing Matilda with me

And it's a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace

And a wound that would never heal

No Prima Donnas the perfume is on

An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey

And it's goodnight to the street sweepers

The night watchmen flame keepers

And goodnight Matilda too

And Goodnight Matilda too
