And The Played Waltzing Matilda

Now when I was a young lad I me pack
And I the free life of the rover.
From the Murray's green banks, to the dusty
I waltzed my Matilda all over.
Then in 1915, my said, 'Son,
time 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 played 'Waltzing Matilda,'
As the pulled away from 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 butchered like at the slaughter.

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

So I'll go no 'Waltzing Matilda,'
or through the green bush and wide
For to hunt and tent peg a man both legs,
No more 'Waltzing 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 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 band "Waltzing Matilda"
As wheeled us down the gangway.
And nobody cheered, just stood and stared.
And they all turned faces away.

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

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