When I was a young man I car-ied a pack,
And I lived the free life of a ro-ver,
From the Mur-ray's green ba-sin,
To the dust-y out-back,
I-- waltzed my Ma-til-da all o-ver,
Then in nine-teen fif-teen, the coun-try said Son,
There's no time for ro-vin',
There's work to be done,
So they gave me a tin hat and gave me a gun,
And they sent me a-way to the war.
And the band played Waltz-ing Ma-til-da,
As our ships pulled a-way from the Quay,
And a-midst all the cheers,
The flag wav-ing and tears,
We-- sailed off for Gal-lip-o-li.
Waltz-ing Mat-il-da, Waltz-ing Mat-il-da,
You'll come a Waltz-ing Mat-il-da with me,
And he sang as he watched,
And wait-ed till his bill-y boiled,
You'll come a Waltz-ing Mat-il da with me.
