Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands,
To make this Commonwealth of ours,
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas,
We've boundless plains to share,
With courage let us all combine,
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
"Advance Australia Fair!"
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong:
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him in 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 shoved that jumbuck in his tucker-bag,
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Up rode a Squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the Troopers - one, two, three
"Who's 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.
"Who's 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 catch me alive!" said he;
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the Billabong,
"Who'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!"
