What a tragedy that campaign was. The brits who formed the strategy had no idea of what was waiting there. But who cares about about a couple of thousand ANZAC's......
This version is very authentic and solid, but the best version of this song (IMHO) is done by Midnight Oil.
Lots of respect for the men that fought then but i gotta say, who's fucking stupid idea was it to storm THAT particular beach. I mean look at it, the fucking thing is built for defence. No wonder we got chewed up and spat out. Love the troops, hate the idiots that decided to attack there.
i am proud to have served this country in the forces and have lost good men in service my mates as my grand father did as my father did i find it dispointing that the younger ones dont see the scarifice we /they made they would not no the meaning of hard yakka
Hey cudgie 1000, it's not to celebrate but to commemorate ! Sure, under the wrong command the tea toting POMS, our great strapping Australian men were led to slaughter.Gallipoli was a part of the war,not a great way to be put on the map but Australians were & that is how Gallipoli is known.All my 7 Great Uncles fought in the 1st & 2nd world wars,losing Cecil in Kokoda.Not 1 complained & they fought for years,I would never say the word "POINTLESS" to any soldier.We are here because of them!
@getstaff nicely said mate... pointless my arse, I'm ashamed for most people here today who seem to forget the reasons for the suffering of these men. These men are the reason even people like cudgie can open their mouths and say the stupid things they do.
To those people who think this is a celebration of what previous generations of soldiers did for this country - think again-have a look at the lyrics. It is about the futility of a pointless war. Gaillopolli was no triumph it was a major f22k up that achieved nothing except the tragic waste of a huge number of lives. Nothing to celebrate here.
i thank all the old diggers for what they gave for our brilliant way of life. and 1 man stands strong in my heart. my grandad. he is dying slowly from shrapnel poisoning from a mine that took the life of his best mate. he is 86 now and is getting worse week by week. i just hope when he passes that all the horrible thing he sore will be forgoten and he can truly rest in peace. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
A song tributed to real men, heroes, the old boys we owe our whole way of life to. if not for them and the pure bravery they showed the world may be a very different place
Love my Homeland and This Song. Im a first generation Aussie from Immigrant parents, and im so blessed they came here. I now work with refugee's and volunteer in our local community. It makes me tear up every time i hear an patriotic song. Im grateful for every man and woman who fought for our freedom. RIP to all the souls who lost their lives in all wars fought.
the whole gallipoli campaign was one horrible bloody big mistake the british generals yes were grosely incompetent, but there is no use blaming any one. if you look at the reasoning behind the whole great war it was nothing but a terrible pointless catastrophe. if nothing else was gained from it at least it forged a great country that is now australia, not a british colony. after gallipoli was when the general population said if that we r not british we are australian.

he is such an awesome australian entertainer, most of his songs give me goose bumps, because they are so heartfelt and honest..have seen him in concert 7 times, just about to see him for time number 8 in july..cant wait
Thanks mate, its great to see that someone appreciates that we Aussies follow our allies and fight with all our hearts no matter what. We did it 100 years ago and still do taday. Lest We Forget....
@MsSloppyseconds , yes, the bomb hitting hiroshima led Japan to with draw from the war and surrender. It was a help to Australia as Japanese forces were progressing south at the time. Darwin was already being bombed regularly from the Japanese war machine at the time.
Whats done is done and the war is now in the past, and in no way do i harbour resentment to the Japenese, but without guns, i could be speaking Japanese right now.
@MsSloppyseconds could have been mate, who knows, but it was the bomb that dropped which caused the Japanese surrender and prevented many more Australian soldiers lives being taken in the war.
The Russians helped to ; they invaded Japanese controlled China and were on the verge of invading Japan itself with the U.S.
Naturally this was a worry for the Japanese being a monarchy and all. If the Russians invaded then they would try and bring about communism; which would of course spell an end to the Emperor... : /
I'm a pozzie half pommie and half Aussie and I think that the pomz get a whole lot of shut from the Aussies and should let them some slack! they lost shit loads more of troops in the war than Aussies and the Aussies couldn't even protect their own country! The yanks wer the ones we r all in peace 2day! They held the fight at gauducanal and stopped the japz from taking Australia as a navy/supply island basicly so whoever says anything bad about the yanks or poms think again! Less we forget
@MrRemixOnline So your a pom who's disrespecting the men who fought for us, you wont last long. I highly suggest you read a book because you have no idea what your talking about.
@ozzyguy67 i was thinking the same thing... what a silly thing for him to say.. disrespectful it was.. he needs to stop worrying about his breeding and be thankful that his ass was saved by all our soldiers and allies...
Aussies put shit on the Poms because we like Poms (poms being all of the UK not just the english). We do the same with Kiwis.
Second,I see it written how the US saved Australia in WW2..that is a gross over estimate of the US effort. Yes they sunk the Jap fleet but it was Australian troops that saved Australia and it was the fuzzy angels that saved the Aussie troops. PNG hardly gets a mention yet contributed so much. Thank you PNG.
@NicholasIronfist As a mere Pom, I have the greatest respect for Australia and her people, Mind you, I think differently when it comes to the Ashes tests. Whenever I hear this song it brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.
@MrRemixOnline Bear in mind, in 1914 we were a 13 year old nation. we had fewer than 3,000,000 males in the whole country and still 400,000 men volunteered to go to the other-side of the globe to defend Britain and Europe against Germany. During WWII our forces were again in Europe sacrificing their lives and please don't forget Kokoda. We don't hold anything against Britain or America but get a little annoyed when our countries sacrifices are passed of as smaller and less important than others.
Anzac day is the best day in our History, No prouder day to be Australian, In the years gone by the Turkish and Australia have a great respect for each other, The may have been forgotten but the heroes from both sides live on never aging! Thank you to our Heroes, you will never be forgotten
OK for those poms who think it was about the same. the population of the UK in ww1 was about 16 million souls, in Australia there was less than 5. The impact of the piss poor generals on Australian society was obscene.
@landrmonty It shouldn't be about comparing the dead when all sides suffered greatly. However if we must do that then........the population of Scotland during the first war was under 5 million too but Scottish dead amounted to 150,000 during that conflict compared with approx 60,000 for Australia! Total dead for Britain was over 700,000. Eric Bogle who wrote this song was a Scot and no doubt the suffering of people no matter where they came from is behind his various WW1 songs.
The 10 People that dislike this song must definatly be german or turkish, I'm proud to be an aussie through and through, great song with an awesome meaning
I'm a massive fan of John Williamson and this is my fave version of this song, but I don't think it matters who sings it, the song itself is legendary. Gives me shivers every time I hear it
true that xgi 36, i feel the song is superb no matter whom sings it & other songs like it .i'll tip my hat to any armed forces people from the past now present & the future of any creed race or colour . As they are ordered to the inhumane tasks some times given by the nasty government's
aside from what some ppl think now....no one can take Australia's history away...No matter how many numbers on the other side of the fence the ANZAC's were one of the most feared men in wartime and our sporting achievements are second to none.....put simply if u dont like it LEAVE.....i dun care what anyone thinks im still proud to be an Aussie
@ozace56 Iam not an AUSSIE , but I like you all , I have ,by chance , now a GOOD friend in Australia , I like him very much ! He gave me the name of famous songs and singers from your COUNTRY , like them all !!! Love from Belgium . ! It is good to hear that you are proud to be an AUSSIE !
The true heart andsoul of Australia still beats when you enter an outback country town and visit it's locals in the pub. This is something not enough Australians have experienced and the Ex Pats overseas aight to remember, Australia is more important to see then a foreign country. Australian capital cities are absolutely zero reflection on True Australian culture. Remember that, Aussies!
@Nytowl7 I agree with your patriotic sentiments, but even in consumerist Sydney, most of us are moved and feel so proud to be Australian, particularly after an audience of JW playing this song! You don't need to live in Lightning Ridge, Yepoon, Broken Hill or Kalgoolie to love your country.
@adstow True but, that wasn't what I meant. Many people living in the cities love Australia but, the culture belongs to the country. You wont find it within the walls of any Australian city less it be a sporting stadium :-)
As a white Australian and as an aboriginal from Wellington (Wirrigerie) I just want to say let's embrace our differences and get along as Australians. Carl Torcetti
@millertas You need to realize that it was not the Allies who started World War One, nor was it us who started World War Two, in both cases it was Germany, we simply defended ourselves, at great cost in human life.
@Jacks1400 It was nationalistic fury between the nations. The kind of flag waving stuff that should be kept to the sporting field. True Germany and her allies were mainly to blaim but you can't tell me that many lives (and in this case legs) were sacrificed for the sake of a little ground on the allied side. WW1 sewed the seeds for WW2. Sometimes we have to grow up and stop the blaim game ("yeh but he started it"). Only then will the world live in peace.
@Jacks1400 Was it really worth over 10 million lives. Yes Germany was mainly to blaim but as in school fights no one is completely innocent. I am not particularly interested in the "I am not to blaim-you started it" this song is about the futility of war and perhaps we should try other ways first rather than battle. The allied tactic of putting men out as "cannon fodder" worked since there were greater numbers of allied soldiers. That to me is a crime.
@Jacks1400 Hmm bit confused in what you are trying to say? I don't think you understand what I am trying to say or what the song is trying to say. War is rarely justified and more often than not a peaceful solution could be found. JFK did in 1962 during Cuban Missile crisis. The governments in those times really could not give a shit about their soldiers. WW1 has been said to be one big family dispute amoungst the European Royal Family. No War is not "justified".
@millertas WAR IS JUSTIFIED WHEN YOU ARE ATTACKED, YOU ARE THEN WELL WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS TO DEFEND YOURSELF, YOUR NATION AND YOUR PEOPLE, UNLIKE PACIFISTS LIKE YOURSELF, I WOULD RATHER DIE THAN SBMIT TO AN ENEMY.
@Jacks1400 Yes you have just stated why the Turks defended Gallipoli and the wrongs that Australia and Allies did in attacking their land but I know the real reason why we went to that peninsula and the strategy to knock Turkey out early (which failed). I am not blinded by over the top nationalism and am not offended by your Pacifist jibe since I am in good company (eg. Jesus, Gandi). I just ask you to leave that over the top nationalism to the sporting field.
@Jacks1400 Yes I hate "Nationalism" as defined by Paul Keating (Flag Waving, Cronulla Riots type) but like Patriotism - working for a better Australia, pride in our indigenous people, the environment, Education, multi-culturalism, Care for those who seek asylum and treating them with respect. So no I find your videos absolute crap and again call on you to actually listen to the lyrics.
@millertas HAHA yet your an idiot because you like countless other leftists still fail to realize that it was LEBANESE MUSLIMS who started the Cronulla riots by bashing australian Lifeguards, who didn't even have to be at the beach but simply came down on their day off to do their job. Australians were in their rights to retaliate.
@Jacks1400 WTF Can you name any Lebanese Muslim found guilty of (in your words) "bashing Australian Lifeguards" before the riots began? Do you think that I as I white male Tasmanian is responsible for what Martin Bryant did in 1996 and would that give any of the affected ethnic groups to fight White Australians? I (unlike you) trust the justice system and the police to do their job and the last thing I will tolerate are vigilante groups taking the law into their own hands.
@millertas They bashed the lifegurads, what about the gang rapes in Sydney hmm ? the skaf scum, raped white australians, and they believed it was justified because in their words not mine " they were australian shit and they did not matter "
and as for the justice system, would that be the same system that dishes out more punishment for theft of money than it does rape ?
@Jacks1400 I don't know if you know how the justice system works but you have to be 1.Arrested 2.Charged 3.Convicted. In fact that is what I thought the diggers were fighting for, our freedoms. You cannot be convicted for something your race or even your brother has done. You are a complete racist and as a white Australian I feel ashamed that you feel like you do. In fact you are just as bad as the Lebs you accuse. I hereby distant myself from any action you may do on behalf of Australians.
@millertas Speak for yourself mate, don't say shit on behalf of others because i garuntee you there are plenty more people like myself out there who want to preserve Australian National identity, culture and values. And succeed we will.
@Jacks1400 Read what I said you drongo "I repeat I hereby distance myself from any action YOU may do on behalf of Australians". When you say you want to preserve Australian National Identity what do you mean? Aboriginal (I do too), the type that gives a fair go to all (I do too), the one that like the national anthem says ("for those who come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share") welcomes people from different places (I do too). You are a white supremacist, that is so unAustralian.
@Jacks1400 You really are a white supremacist. Did you not know that the concept of race was made up by the US founding fathers? In reality it doesn't exist. To play your game though you obviously have no respect for the great contribution of (for example) the Chinese Migrants have done. Look inside any hospital you will see many a yellow faced doctor. Victor Chang saved many Australian lives. Great Australians come in any colour.
@Jacks1400 I thought racism and multiculturalism were mutually exclusive. If you have a tolerant multicultural tolerant society, racism is lowered. I agree yellow faces can be just as bad as white faces but don't judge all by the actions of one (that's prejudice). The vast majority of rapist are men, that doesn't make all men rapists. Racism was established well before Karl Marx's birth (1818) and multicultualism as a concept 1915 some 32 years after his death.
@millertas The fact is a tolerant multicultural society simply creates reverse racism and dsicrimination, it wouldn't happen if we all stayed in our own countries with our own races, and simply interatacted with each other through tourism. You would not have race related violence if that was so. The fact is whites are told to feel guilty for past crimes, the truth is every single other race on Earth is just as bad, the 2nd worst genocide was committed by Turkish Muslims against Armenians
@Jacks1400 Well that's it you've convinced me. I invite you plus all other white Australians to go back to Europe. Don't be such a drongo, my neice had a girl to a Somalian man. She has very black skin, even darker than the US President but like the US President there is a light coloured gene in there that can come out in generations to come. No matter what you lament it is too late for anything but multi-culturism. You cannot change it so you may as well embrace it.
@millertas If you want to be part of the cultural suicide lobby be my guest but i won't be. Also as the problems that come with multiculturalism cntinue to multiply so will the strength of the nationalists. Beware Leftist your days are numbered.
@Jacks1400 I look forward to a world of mixed races, culture, people. Australia is made up of so many different people and personally I L:IKE IT. No your racist ideas are numbered.
@Jacks1400 Nationalism is on the rise but tends to stay on the sporting field. It only takes one or two good foreign born sporting heroes and your racism is shot to pieces.
@millertas It tends to stay on the sporting field ? haha i don't think so take a look at nationalism in Europe, Jobbik, PVV, FN, SD all getting more and more popular every day. Why ? because people are fed up with the courruption and lies of the political left, people are sick of the disastrous social experiment that was and is multiculturalism, people are fed up with the double standards, people are fed up with political correctness gone mad.
@Jacks1400 You are quite paranoid aren't you? The whole point is, if we don't get along with each other we will condemn ourselves to destroying ourselves.
@Jacks1400 They have? What like WMDs, Children Overboard? Please enlighten me on these nationalist that have been proven right? I go back when I wanted to play the round ball version of football I was not given support (it was known as wog ball). However after 1974 what we refer to as soccer has really taken off. An advantage of multiculturalism. Also Melbourne Restaurants in the 60s were quite frankly, boring, thank goodness for multiculturalism, it transformed Melbourne.
@Jacks1400 I assume you mean Melbourne. Trying to alienate Australia's second biggest (and I understand that on current trends will become the biggest by 2050) city? You need all the friends you can get mate since you attack anyone of non anglo-saxon background and the majority of them (like me) feel offended by your attacks on people's colour, culture or lifestyle. Keep digging mate if you believe its a shit hole, you dug it.
It should be said that there was only a 'skeleton crew' of turkish soldiers defending Suvla Bay when the ANZACS landed, they were expecting an invasion somewhere else. We landed in the wrong spot and they had the higher ground. Over time strange friendships developed and the ANZACS abhored the orders to advance on the turks (some trenches were 10m apart), the turks would throw tobacco from their provisions and the ANZACS would throw bully beef - often thrown back! No-one wanted to be there.
doesnt matter mate its a tribute to aussie diggers and soilders everywhere, my grandad passed away a long time ago, he was airforce, i was army, but he still sits INFRONT of me any time i hear this song or ANY song that remembers our fallen fore fathers! Any1 that doesnt remember wot our fallen heroes have done should NOT be in this country, u wanna be a aussie u take the good, the bad, the ugly!!! SIMPLE!!!!! LONG LIVE THE AUSSIE!
@taffize - is a WW2 vet really sitting next to you watching youtube? I mean my pops pretty cool but cant imagine him sitting next to me getting involved in a conversation like this.
Read the last 2 pages to see what im saying.
"Eric Bogle and who ever"eric bogle wrote the song.......Thats what im "on about"
If you took the time to pull your head out your ass you will see i am respecting the song against retards such as yourslef who are clearly retarded.
While many Anzac troups fought valiently at Gallipoli their relative sacrifice has been exaggerated by the songwriters and poets. In terms of lives lost there were 21,255 Britons, 10,000 Frenchmen, 8,709 Australians and 2, 701 New Zealanders. Many Australian soldiers found trench warfare particularly hard to stomach and there were many instances of desertion and self-mutilation.
aye fuzzayb, would you like to tell the families of the two diggers that were killed today 9/6/10, about history lessons, Eric Bogle and who ever, you might be politicaly correct but thats about it.
fuzzayb, i am a dam year older than year seven, I know what this song means to a lot of people, perhaps you should just keep quiet. For youre effing info I have a digger sitting alongsid e me getting very angry with you. please forgive me if I misunderstand youre post.
Apologies if anyone saw this as a attack - just people like Nhellmund, who have no idea about such a tune i feel so strongly about upsets me. Nhellmund has no idea what he is on about and gueesing his year 7 teacher told him them facts
Maybe some australian history lessons before posting? This string isnt even appropriate to this song? A Scotsman actually wrote this, Eric Bogle. Youtube wont let me post links - google is your friend! Idiot proof but not american proof!
Matilda is his swag . The POEM is wriiten by AB patterson and is written about a wool shearing "legend" about a shearer during the shearers strike who stole sheep to feed himself and suicide was a better death than crown punishment.
Im 16 years old and i know this.....You mob are embarresing us.
"Waltzing Matilda" is an older song about someone who goes wondering then kills a sheep, and then instead of being arrested he kills himself. But then It makes it sound as if he is still wandering as a ghost. ur "Waltzing Matilda" to wander.
@ozzyguy67 This is NOT an anti-war version! It is a very poignant remembrance of one of the worst battles that Australians and New Zealands were ever involved in. Even today it is recognised throughout Austrlai, New Zealand and Turkey as Anzac Day and is not celebrated as an anti-war parade, but a proud remembrance of the courage and spirit of people who are prepared to fight and give their lives for something they believed in!
Thank god for men with the courage to die for their country!
"waltzing" "matilda" :- Is going hiking " waltzing" through the scrub with your swag "matilda". ur an idiot bob, get it right if your gonna bag a true aussie song
that generations of ozzie's have been singing and wil continue to sing
The person who wrote this song either didn't know what he was talking about, or he changed the meaning on purpose. Here it is, Ladies and Gentlemen: A "Waltzing Matilda" is the body of a man, swinging on the end of a rope, by his neck, with the other end securely attached to the limb of a tree. This is what passed as "frontier justice," in Australia, in the late 1800s. The swagman didn't want to be hanged, so he jumped into the water and drowned himself. Trust me, I know whereof I speak.
'Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives, you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country, therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets where they lie side by side here in this country of ours.... You the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.'
Firstly i would like to say that as a Turkish man i appraciate all Autralian and new zelland soldiers that they battled with great honour....This battle was a sample of military clumsiness of the britain and disaster as well....Our great leader said that soliers who died here are our friends and they are gonna be here with dying turkish soldiers forever.....
Just learned to play this song. It's so sad, It's hard to sing it without choking on my tears. What a powerful song about a tragic event. Lest we forget alright.
I remembered seeing the Gallipoli Landing boats in the War Memorial in Canberra, seeing those bullet holes on the boats, you have to realise those poor bugger were lucky to make it onto the beach. They are truely one of the Australia bravest soldiers!
The Pogues version the best by a mile, Shane's voice gives this song credence!

@MsSloppyseconds , yes, the bomb hitting hiroshima led Japan to with draw from the war and surrender. It was a help to Australia as Japanese forces were progressing south at the time. Darwin was already being bombed regularly from the Japanese war machine at the time.
Whats done is done and the war is now in the past, and in no way do i harbour resentment to the Japenese, but without guns, i could be speaking Japanese right now.

@MsSloppyseconds could have been mate, who knows, but it was the bomb that dropped which caused the Japanese surrender and prevented many more Australian soldiers lives being taken in the war.

@MsSloppyseconds It definitely seemed to have an impact.
The Russians helped to ; they invaded Japanese controlled China and were on the verge of invading Japan itself with the U.S.
Naturally this was a worry for the Japanese being a monarchy and all. If the Russians invaded then they would try and bring about communism; which would of course spell an end to the Emperor... : /

@MrRemixOnline Bear in mind, in 1914 we were a 13 year old nation. we had fewer than 3,000,000 males in the whole country and still 400,000 men volunteered to go to the other-side of the globe to defend Britain and Europe against Germany. During WWII our forces were again in Europe sacrificing their lives and please don't forget Kokoda. We don't hold anything against Britain or America but get a little annoyed when our countries sacrifices are passed of as smaller and less important than others.

@landrmonty It shouldn't be about comparing the dead when all sides suffered greatly. However if we must do that then........the population of Scotland during the first war was under 5 million too but Scottish dead amounted to 150,000 during that conflict compared with approx 60,000 for Australia! Total dead for Britain was over 700,000. Eric Bogle who wrote this song was a Scot and no doubt the suffering of people no matter where they came from is behind his various WW1 songs.

Jacks1400 1 year ago
@Jacks1400 It was nationalistic fury between the nations. The kind of flag waving stuff that should be kept to the sporting field. True Germany and her allies were mainly to blaim but you can't tell me that many lives (and in this case legs) were sacrificed for the sake of a little ground on the allied side. WW1 sewed the seeds for WW2. Sometimes we have to grow up and stop the blaim game ("yeh but he started it"). Only then will the world live in peace.

@millertas Allied nationalism was in response to german expansionism and militarism.
Jacks1400 1 year ago
@Jacks1400 Was it really worth over 10 million lives. Yes Germany was mainly to blaim but as in school fights no one is completely innocent. I am not particularly interested in the "I am not to blaim-you started it" this song is about the futility of war and perhaps we should try other ways first rather than battle. The allied tactic of putting men out as "cannon fodder" worked since there were greater numbers of allied soldiers. That to me is a crime.

@Jacks1400 Hmm bit confused in what you are trying to say? I don't think you understand what I am trying to say or what the song is trying to say. War is rarely justified and more often than not a peaceful solution could be found. JFK did in 1962 during Cuban Missile crisis. The governments in those times really could not give a shit about their soldiers. WW1 has been said to be one big family dispute amoungst the European Royal Family. No War is not "justified".

@Jacks1400 Yes you have just stated why the Turks defended Gallipoli and the wrongs that Australia and Allies did in attacking their land but I know the real reason why we went to that peninsula and the strategy to knock Turkey out early (which failed).

@Jacks1400 I thought racism and multiculturalism were mutually exclusive. If you have a tolerant multicultural tolerant society, racism is lowered. I agree yellow faces can be just as bad as white faces but don't judge all by the actions of one (that's prejudice). The vast majority of rapist are men, that doesn't make all men rapists. Racism was established well before Karl Marx's birth (1818) and multicultualism as a concept 1915 some 32 years after his death.
millertas 1 year ago
@millertas The fact is a tolerant multicultural society simply creates reverse racism and dsicrimination, it wouldn't happen if we all stayed in our own countries with our own races, and simply interatacted with each other through tourism. You would not have race related violence if that was so. The fact is whites are told to feel guilty for past crimes, the truth is every single other race on Earth is just as bad, the 2nd worst genocide was committed by Turkish Muslims against Armenians

It should be said that there was only a 'skeleton crew' of turkish soldiers defending Suvla Bay when the ANZACS landed, they were expecting an invasion somewhere else. We landed in the wrong spot and they had the higher ground. Over time strange friendships developed and the ANZACS abhored the orders to advance on the turks (some trenches were 10m apart), the turks would throw tobacco from their provisions and the ANZACS would throw bully beef - often thrown back! No-one wanted to be there.

While many Anzac troups fought valiently at Gallipoli their relative sacrifice has been exaggerated by the songwriters and poets. In terms of lives lost there were 21,255 Britons, 10,000 Frenchmen, 8,709 Australians and 2, 701 New Zealanders. Many Australian soldiers found trench warfare particularly hard to stomach and there were many instances of desertion and self-mutilation.

The person who wrote this song either didn't know what he was talking about, or he changed the meaning on purpose. Here it is, Ladies and Gentlemen: A "Waltzing Matilda" is the body of a man, swinging on the end of a rope, by his neck, with the other end securely attached to the limb of a tree. This is what passed as "frontier justice," in Australia, in the late 1800s. The swagman didn't want to be hanged, so he jumped into the water and drowned himself. Trust me, I know whereof I speak.
