(Tommy Emmanuel) Waltzing Matilda - Sungha Jung

Sungha http://www.sunghajung.com played 'Waltzing Matilda' arranged by Tommy Emmauel.
"Waltzing Matilda" is Australia's most widely known bush ballad, a country folk song, and has been referred to as "the unofficial national anthem of Australia".[1]

The title is Australian slang for travelling by foot with one's goods in a "Matilda" (bag) slung over one's back.[2] The song narrates the story of an itinerant worker, or swagman, making a drink of tea at a bush camp and capturing a sheep to eat. When the sheep's ostensible owner arrives with three police officers to arrest the worker for the theft (a crime punishable by hanging), the worker commits suicide by drowning himself in the nearby watering hole, and then goes on to haunt the site.

The original lyrics were written in 1887 by poet and nationalist Banjo Paterson. It was first published as sheet music in 1903. Extensive folklore surrounds the song and the process of its creation, to the extent that the song has its own museum, the Waltzing Matilda Centre in Winton, Queensland.

This was the last song he played in his Rauma Consert on his Scandinavian tour. :D I remember he messed up the beginning. That reminded that Sungha indeed is a person too, not a robot or anything. :)
