And The Band Waltzing Matilda

Now I was a young lad I carried me pack
And I lived the life 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 time you ramblin', there's work to be done.'
So they gave me a tin hat, and gave me a gun,
And marched me away to the war.

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

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

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

So go no more 'Waltzing Matilda,'
or through the bush 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 wounded heroes of Suvla.

And as our ship sailed Circular Quay,
I looked at the place where me legs to be,
And thanked there was nobody waiting for me,
To mourn, and to grieve, and to pity.

And the band "Waltzing Matilda"
As they us down the gangway.
And nobody cheered, just stood and stared.
And they all their faces away.

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

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