Oh there once was a swagman camped in a billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling
 [bad word] a waltzing Matilda with me

 [bad word] a waltzing Matilda my darling
 [bad word] a waltzing Matilda with me
Waltzing Matilda and leading a water bag
 [bad word] a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water hole
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag
 [bad word] a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came the squatter a riding on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers one two three
Whose is that jumbuck you've got in the tucker bag
 [bad word] a waltzing Matilda with me

But the swagman he up and he jumped into the water hole
Drowning himself by the coolibah tree
And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong
 [bad word] a waltzing Matilda with me
