And The Band Played Matilda

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

And the band 'Waltzing Matilda,'
As the ship pulled from the quay,
Amidst the songs and the cheers, the waving, and tears,
We off for Gallipoli.

And how well I remember terrible day,
How our blood the sand we call Suvla Bay
We were like lambs at the slaughter.

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

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

gathered the injured, the wounded, the maimed,
And shipped us all back 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 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 they wheeled us the gangway.
And nobody cheered, they just and stared.
And all turned their faces away.

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

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