Me And Matilda |
| Me and Matilda, we led a good life |
| Done it together as husband and wife |
| Bush dances and parties and everyone saw |
| Me and Matilda, the belle of the ball |
| Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda |
| The rustle of satin, the gold in her hair |
| Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda |
| With the orchestra playing the old Irish air |
| For me and Matilda the party was o’er |
| When the banker foreclosed and showed us the door |
| We shouldered our swags and the black billycan |
| Went waltzing away with the poor of the land |
| Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda |
| The butcherbirds sang as we went down the track |
| Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda |
| The campfire, billabong somewhere outback |
| Oh, you should have seen us, Matilda and me |
| Dining on damper and black billy tea |
| And the squatters, God bless ‘em, they treated us grand |
| Fed us on mutton, the fat of the land |
| Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda |
| Mutton and damper and black billy tea |
| Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda |
| What more do we want, my Matilda and me |
| Me and Matilda, we parted one day |
| I laid her to rest and went on my way |
| But never alone, but there by my side |
| She was waltzing along, the ghost of my bride |
| Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda |
| We’ll go on waltzing, Matilda and me |
| Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda |
| Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me |
