Roy sang this song whilst on an Australian tour
it was taped by a fan and circulated.....

Once a jolly swagman, camp´d by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watch´d and waited till his billy boiled,
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 till his billy boiled,
You´ll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shaoved 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 shaoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
You´ll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down come the troopers, one, two, three,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you´ve got in your tucker bag?
You´ll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
Whose that jolly jumbuck you´ve got in your tucker bag?
You´ll come a waltzing Matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong,
Drowning himself by the coolibah tree,
And his ghost may be heard as you by that billabong,
You´ll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You´ll come a waltzing Matilda with me,
And his ghost may be heard as you by that billabong,
You´ll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
