And The Band Waltzing Matilda

Now I was a young lad I carried me pack
And I lived the free of the rover.
From the Murray's green banks, to the outback
While I waltzed my all over.
in 1915, my country said, 'Son,
It's you stop ramblin', there's work to be done.'
So they gave me a tin hat, and gave me a gun,
And they me away to the war.

And the band 'Waltzing Matilda,'
As the ship pulled from the quay,
the songs and the cheers, the flag waving, and tears,
We off for Gallipoli.

And how well I remember that day,
How our blood stained the sand we Suvla Bay
We were like lambs at the slaughter.

The big Turkish shell caught me arse head,
And I woke up in my hospital bed
And saw what it had done, well, I wished I was
knew there was worse things than dying.

So I'll go no more Matilda,'
or through the bush bars and wide
For to and tent peg a man needs both legs,
No 'Waltzing Matilda' for me.

They the injured, the wounded, the maimed,
And shipped us all back to Australia.
The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane,
Those wounded heroes of Suvla.

And as our sailed into Circular Quay,
I looked at the place where me used to be,
And Christ there was nobody waiting for me,
To mourn, and to grieve, and to pity.

And the played "Waltzing Matilda"
As they wheeled us the gangway.
And nobody cheered, they just and stared.
And all turned their faces away.

And the band plays 'Waltzing Matilda,'
And the young men answer the call,
But as year follows year,those old men
Someday, no one will there at all.

Mathilda, Waltzing Mathilda
Who'll a-waltzing Mathilda with me
And their ghosts may be as you pass the Billabong
Who'll come a-waltzing with me ?
