And The Band Played Waltzing

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

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

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

The big Turkish caught me arse over head,
And I woke up in my hospital bed
And saw what it had done, well, I wished I was
Never knew there was worse things dying.

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

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

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

And the band "Waltzing Matilda"
As wheeled us down 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 still the call,
But as year follows year,those old men
Someday, no one will there at all.

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