And The Played Waltzing Matilda

Now I was a young lad I carried me pack
And I lived the free of the rover.
From the green banks, to the dusty outback
While I my Matilda all over.
in 1915, my country said, 'Son,
It's 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 band played 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 that terrible day,
How our blood stained the we call Suvla Bay
We were butchered lambs at the slaughter.

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

So I'll go no 'Waltzing Matilda,'
or through the bush bars and wide
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,
proud wounded heroes of Suvla.

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

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

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

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