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
I waltzed my Matilda all over.
Then in 1915, my said, 'Son,
time you stop ramblin', there's work 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 away from the quay,
Amidst the and the cheers, the flag waving, and tears,
We off for Gallipoli.

And how I remember that terrible day,
How our blood stained the we call Suvla Bay
We butchered like lambs at the slaughter.

The big shell caught me arse over head,
And when I woke up in my bed
And saw what it had done, well, I I was dead
Never knew there was worse than dying.

So go no more 'Waltzing Matilda,'
or through the green bars and wide
For to hunt and tent peg a man needs legs,
No more 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,
Those proud wounded of Suvla.

And as our sailed into Circular Quay,
I at the place where me legs used to be,
And thanked there was nobody waiting 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 just and stared.
And they all turned their away.

And the still plays 'Waltzing Matilda,'
And the young men still the call,
But as year year,those old men disappear
Someday, no one march there at all.

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