And The Band Waltzing Matilda

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

And the band 'Waltzing 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 blood stained the we call Suvla Bay
We butchered like lambs at the slaughter.

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

So I'll go no 'Waltzing Matilda,'
or through the green bush bars and
For to hunt and peg a man needs both 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,
proud wounded heroes of Suvla.

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

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

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

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