Andrew Barton Paterson (Эндрю Бартон Патерсон) Waltzing Matilda Oh! there once was a swagman camped in the Billabong, Under the shade of a Coolabah tree; And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling, ”Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.” Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda, my darling, Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me? Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag— Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me? Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water-hole, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him in glee; And he sang as he put him away in his tucker-bag, ”You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!” Down came the Squatter a-riding his thorough-bred; Down came Policemen—one, two, and three. ”Whose is the jumbuck you’ve got in the tucker-bag? You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.” But the swagman, he up and he jumped in the water-hole, Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree; And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong, ”Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?” Andrew Barton Paterson's other poems:
