Curt Kirkwood - Waltzing Matilda - Live 2001

From Curt's solo/acoustic tour 2001.

After several minutes of ear-piercing, loopy space noise,
Curt segues right into the Australian Nation Anthem,
"Waltzing Matilda."

Well, sort of. Things happen.
Things got in his way....

Like:

The first performance of the Broadway musical
"CATS" ... Spandex ... Guitar cord problems.

------

Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
And he sang as he sat as he 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 as he waited by the billabong
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong...

Down came the swagman to drink beside the billabong
Up jumped the swagman, and seized him with glee
And he sang as he talked to that jumbuck in his tucker-bag
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 talked to that jumbuck in his tucker-bag
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Down came the stockman riding on his thoroughbred
Up came the troopers One, Two, Three
Where's that jolly jumbuck that you have in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
Where's that jolly jumbuck that you have in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Up jumped the swagman and leapt into the billabong
You'll never catch me alive cried he
And his ghost can be heard as you ride beside the billabong
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
And his ghost can be heard as you ride beside the billabong
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
