me and matilda
Singer:slim dusty
done it together as husband and wife
bush dances and parties and everyone saw
with the orchestra playing the old irish air
for me and matilda the party was o'er
when the banker foreclosed and showed us the door
we shouldered our swags and the black billycan
went waltzing away with the poor of the land
the butcherbirds sang as we went down the track
billabong somewhere outback
dining on damper and black billy tea
mutton and damper and black billy tea
i laid her to rest and went on my way
who'll come a-waltzing matilda with me
