And The Played Waltzing Matilda

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

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

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

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

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

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

And as our ship into Circular Quay,
I looked at the place where me legs to be,
And thanked Christ there was waiting for me,
To mourn, and to grieve, and to pity.

And the played "Waltzing Matilda"
As they us down the gangway.
And cheered, they just stood and stared.
And all turned their faces away.

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

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