And The Played Waltzing Matilda

Now when I was a young lad I carried me
And I the free life of the rover.
From the Murray's green banks, to the dusty
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 they me a gun,
And marched me away to the war.

And the band 'Waltzing Matilda,'
As the ship pulled away 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 sand we Suvla Bay
We were like lambs 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 knew there was worse things dying.

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

They the injured, the wounded, the maimed,
And they us all back to Australia.
The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane,
Those proud wounded of Suvla.

And as our sailed 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 nobody cheered, just stood and stared.
And they all turned their away.

And the still plays 'Waltzing Matilda,'
And the young men answer 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 Mathilda me
And their may be heard as you pass the Billabong
Who'll a-waltzing Mathilda with me ?
