ฟังเพลงWaltzing Matilda

Waltzing matilda is a song about an australian hobo

I guess you'd call him he wanders through the bush land of australia

And he takes all his meagre belongings

Wrapped up in an old blanket which is strung across his

Shoulders with an old piece of twine and this is called his swag

Hence the name swagman now affectionately or otherwise

He refers to his swag as matilda its like his only companion

As he wanders through the bush tracks he finds himself talking

To it as if its a real person

So the term waltzing matilda is nothing to do with dancing at all

It means in fact carrying this thing on your back

Through the long lonely stretches of the australian bush

Couple of other terms quickly pay attention

Because I will be asking questions afterwards about this ahah

Couple of other terms

A billabong is a pool of deep water a billy is a little tin can they

Boil the tea in a jumbuck is a sheep err tucker bag is a bag for

Carrying tucker food bag tucker is food sort of like a knapsack

What else the squatter is the big land owner

That's enough lets get on with the song

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

Then 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 watched and waited till his billy boiled

You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

Then down came a swagman and down have spread

Down king the true bones one two three hahaha

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

Right with joling jumbuck in his tucker bag

You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

So up jumped the swagman and jumbuck in his tucker bag

You never take me life said hey and his grils maybe hood

As pass by the billy boiled

You'll come a waltzing matilda waltzing matilda

You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

As his grils maybe hood as pass by the billy boiled

You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
