Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong. Under the shade of a Coolabah tree. And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled. "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?" Down come a jumbuck to drink at the water hole. Up jumped a swagman and grabbed him in glee. And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag.
