Australian Folk Song and Rugy union Song

Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee
And he sang as he tucked jumbuck in his tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three.
"Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive," cried he
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong,
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Will someone please do a decent version of this song, im sick of this yuppy fucking shit. This video should be banned, its a disgrace to the song.

[gerretl]

What a pile of crap. Waltzing Matilda was a rough folk song about sheep thief, not some wanna be eighties anthem.

Get a new job.

Sheep thieving is lucrative.

Thanks for posting this Zzahier, I would love to know who this version is by - thanks, peace.

@Mo0nBugGy1 I agree. A total piece of shit. take this video down!!!

[Okky22]

FUCK THIS SHIT OFF... Its the worst Ive heard... a disgrace

[ShnogDog]

This is shit alright !!! If anything, its going to lull a few more Kiwis into coming over here and shagging a few more sheep. I wouldnt blame them after listening to this !!! can someone please report this to the RSPCA. I'll bet that Jolly swagman threw himself into the billabong because he'd previewed this version. He stole the odd sheep to eat, but could see how this song would entice a few wayward kiwis over the trench, for a good deal of sheep shaggin? By the way, its RUGBY no Rugy...

[AssieWhitePride]
