And The Band Waltzing Matilda

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

And the played '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 stained the sand we call Suvla Bay
We were like lambs at the slaughter.

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

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

They the injured, the wounded, the maimed,
And they 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 legs to be,
And thanked Christ there was nobody for me,
To mourn, and to grieve, and to pity.

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

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

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