Slim Dusty track.
Today is the anniversary of Slim's passing.

Born: June 13, 1927, Kempsey, Australia
Died: September 19, 2003, St. Ives, Australia
Full name: David Gordon Kirkpatrick

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his Billy boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
He sang as he watched and waited 'til his Billy boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed 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 stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Up rode the troopers, one, two, three
"With 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"
"With 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 take 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"
Everybody;
"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

You'll come a waltzing, Matilda with me.
