Luyện nghe bài hát WALTZING MATILDA WALTZ

Well, once jolly swagmen* went their swags
and stuffed jolly jumbucks* down in tucker bags
These days, junkies go on house-breaking jags
and to buy the poison they need
While the swaggie, he wanted a feed

And who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda me?
Hey Banjo*, this country's not what it to be
We've changed all your words, and re-written your
And "Waltzing Matilda" no more.

Henry and Mary, on a warm afternoon
rowed down Reedy River to the broad lagoon
The song of the is a long vanished tune
since they built the uranium
and left is just toxic slime

And who'll come a-walting Matilda me?
Oh, Henry, this not what it used to be
Days pass a whimper, and not with a roar
And "Waltzing Matilda" no more.

Well, we cut down the trees, and the land we
We ploughed and we planted, then we ploughed it
and and again, and again and again
So now on a hot windy day
We can our topsoil blow away

And who'll come a-walting Matilda me?
The desert is marching to the sea
On the day it stretches
from shore to shining
We'll go waltzing no more

Saturday night outside a King's hotel
There our future, and it's halfway to hell
Kids hard drugs and young bodies to sell
Hey Australia, progress we've made!
come a long way, since Diamond day

And who'll a-waltzing Matilda with me?
Hey Anzac*, is this what you fought to free?
A fit for heroes, or junkies and whores?
And "Waltzing Matilda" no more.

And come a-walting Matilda with me?
This could still be what we want it to be
Perhaps one day soon, the dream will be
And we'll go Waltzing Matilda once
go Waltzing Matilda once more

I believe in the US you refer to them as "hobos", though a is not
always someone financially down on luck or On The Run. Some
swagmen are just fed up city life and want to spend their time
exploring the on foot, living off the land and the charity of
passers-by as they can.

tree:

The Eucalyptus Coolibah is a species of Eucalyptus commonly found
in parts of the Australian continent.

A is a tin, often an old used fruit tin or other steel container,
used to water to make tea. Often they have a piece of wire
across their top used as a handle, whereupon after the is boiling,
one holds the wire, the desired amount of tea leaves in said
water, stands up, and swings the whole billy in a circular
vigorously in to force the tea leaves to the bottom of the tin. A
nice touch is to crush a Coolibah leaf into the water too, giving
the tea a of eucalyptus.

A knapsack. "Tucker" "food".

In Australia in the 19th century, swathes of outback land were
divided up and mostly allocated to "squatters" - wealthy
land-owners from Britain, who could afford the the government was
asking. There were also freehold selections free for the (all you
had to do was sign on the dotted line) made to anyone who
would try to exploit the land, but the freehold lots to be poorer
land it was a battle to earn to living. Squatters became fairly
from their allocations even taking over freehold selections in
the process of expanding lots, reflected in the fact that this one

The troopers are law enforcement. The squatter would have

affectionate for that are fairly important to their immediate
existence. In case, AIUI "Matilda" is the swagman's sleeping gear -
a bedroll.
