Canción tracicional en inglés para niños

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.
