And The Played Waltzing Matilda

Now when I was a lad I carried me pack
And I lived the free of the rover.
From the Murray's banks, to the dusty outback
While I waltzed my all over.
in 1915, my country said, 'Son,
It's time you stop ramblin', 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 played Matilda,'
As the ship pulled away 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 blood stained the sand we call Bay
We were butchered like at the slaughter.

The big Turkish shell caught me arse head,
And I woke 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 bush bars and wide
For to hunt and peg a man needs both legs,
No 'Waltzing 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,
Those wounded heroes of Suvla.

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

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

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

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