CWhen I was aG young man I carried my pack
GAnd I lived theD free lifeG of a rover
GFrom the MurraDys green basiCn to the Gdusty outback
GI waltzed my DMatilda aGll over
DThen in nineteen fiftCeen my countGry said oeSon,
DItoes time to stop rambling cos thCereoes workG to be doneoe
GSo they gaCve me a tin hat aGnd they gave me a gun
GAnd theyD sent me awGay to the war
GAnd the bandC played WalGtzing Matilda
GAs we sailedC away from theD quay
CAnd amidst all the tears and Gthe shouts and the cheers
GWe sailed off Dto GallGipoli
GHow well I reCmember that Gterrible day
GWhen the blood stDained the sanGd and the water
GAnd when in tDhat town that tChey called SuGvla Bay
GWe were butcherDed like lambs Gat the slaughter
DJohnny Turk he was readyC, he primed hGimself well
DHe chased us with bulletCs, he rained usG with shells
GAnd in five miCnutes flatG heoed blown us all to hell
GNearly blew us rightD back to AusGtralia
GAnd the bandC played WalGtzing Matilda
GAs we stopCped to burDy our slain
CAnd we buried ours aGnd the Turks buried theirs
GThen we stDarted aGll over again
GNow those that Cwere living did tGheir best to survive
GIn a mad worldD of blood, deathG and fire,
GAnd, for sevDen long Cweeks, I keptG myself alive
GBut the coDrpses around mGe piled higher
DThen a big Turkish shell knocCked me arsGe over tit
DAnd when I awoke iCn my hospGital bed
GI saw what Cit had done. ChrGist ! I wished I was dead
GNever knew thereD were worse things Gthan dying
GFor Ioell go nCo more waltGzing Matilda
GAll aroundC the greDen bush far and near
CFor to hump tent and pGegs, a man needs both legs
GNo more WalDtzing MatiGlda for me
GSo they colClected the crippGles, the wounded, the maimed,
GAnd they shippeDd us back hoGme to Australia
GThe legless, Dthe armless, tChe blind, thGe insane,
GThose proud wDounded heroeGs of Suvla
DAnd as our ship pulled iCnto CircuGlar Bay
DI looked at the place Cmy legs usedG to be
GAnd thank ChrisCt there Gwas no one waiting for me
GTo grieve and Dto mourn andG to pity
GAnd the bandC played WalGtzing Matilda
GAs they carCried us down Dthe gangway
CBut nobody cheered, they juGst stood and stared
GThen they turnedD all thGeir faces away
GAnd now evCery ApriGl I sit on my porch
GAnd I watch Dthe parade pGass before me
GI see my olDd comrades, hoCw proudly theGy march,
GRenewing oDld dreams of paGst glory
DI see the old men march slowly, all bentC, stiff anGd sore
DThe forgotten heroes froCm a forgotGten war
GAnd the youngC people ask oewhGat are they marching for ?oe
GAnd I aDsk myself the sGame question
GAnd the bandC played WalGtzing Matilda
GAnd the old meCn still answerD to the call
CBut year after year thGeir number gets fewer
GSome day nDo one will marGch there at all
GWaltzing Matilda, CWaltzing Matilda
GWho'll come a-waltzing Matilda withD me
