@chrisjrrt A jumbuck is a sheep - a Godsend to a man who doesn't know where his next meal is coming from. A swagman is a hobo/ drifter, but the word tends to have romantic connotations A "Matilda" is a backpack, and to waltz matilda is to wonder with your backpack - so the song has nothing to do with dancing, or with anyone called Matilda! Hope that helps.
@boingsomeness Hey thanks for telling me. I am from the South... for those who dont know that means I live in the southern states in America... so any way I dont know about yall terms. But thanks for telling me.
Beatifully sung HOWEVER, The Original was an old ENGLISH BALLAD which went like this 'A Gay Grenadier went marching down to Rochester going to fight in the Low Lands Low.....The Low Lands Low Oh the Low Lands Low.. Now if you would like to try those words to the air you will see that it is a perfect fit..This preceded the eventual Walzing Matilda so beloved by Australians Sorry but true Cobber...
i like it a lot. constructive critique from one music enthusiast to another would be i think you kinda overdid it a bit ... a little too melodramatic. you do have a very warm and gifted voice though. keep jammin
Perhaps the voice has limited range, but it is used well in this song. Deborah is very expressive with her performance. I would easily give her 4 1/2 stars, based on the weakness of some of the higher notes in the song. However, she stayed on pitch the entire song.
I loved this song since I first heard a cover of it as the opening of a tv series back in the eighties or early 90's. I can't remember the original tittle but in spanish it was "campamento secreto". It makes me rememeber hehe.
HI Deb, very beautiful waltzing Matilda. I was wondering if you had any information on an old Austrailian folk song sung about Mad Dog Morgan??? Any leads you could give me would be graciously welcome. -Richie (New York)
very nice.you`ve a nice voice.x

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree.
He sang and he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me.
His ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
"You'll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me."
