And The Band Waltzing Matilda

Now when I was a young lad I carried me
And I the free life of the rover.
From the Murray's green banks, to the outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over.
Then in 1915, my said, 'Son,
It's time you ramblin', there's work to be done.'
So they gave me a tin hat, and gave me a gun,
And they me away to the war.

And the played 'Waltzing Matilda,'
As the ship pulled from the quay,
Amidst the and the cheers, the flag waving, and tears,
We off for Gallipoli.

And how well I remember that day,
How our stained the sand we call Suvla Bay
We butchered like lambs at the slaughter.

The big Turkish shell caught me arse head,
And I woke up in my hospital bed
And saw what it had done, well, I I was dead
Never knew there was worse than dying.

So go no more 'Waltzing Matilda,'
or through the green bars and wide
For to hunt and tent peg a man both legs,
No 'Waltzing Matilda' for me.

They the injured, the wounded, the maimed,
And they shipped us all to Australia.
The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane,
Those proud wounded of Suvla.

And as our ship sailed Circular Quay,
I looked at the where me legs used to be,
And thanked Christ there was nobody for me,
To mourn, and to grieve, and to pity.

And the band "Waltzing Matilda"
As they us down the gangway.
And nobody cheered, just stood and stared.
And all turned their faces away.

And the band still plays Matilda,'
And the young men answer the call,
But as year year,those old men disappear
Someday, no one will there at all.

Waltzing Mathilda, Waltzing
Who'll come Mathilda with me
And their ghosts may be heard as you pass the
Who'll a-waltzing Mathilda with me ?
