a man who travelled the country looking for work. The swagman's
"swag" was a bed roll that bundled his belongings. billabong an
oxbow lake (a cut-off river bend) found alongside a meandering
river. coolibah tree a kind of eucalyptus tree which grows near
billabongs. jumbuck a sheep. billy a can for boiling water in,
usually 23 pints. tucker bag a bag for carrying food ("tucker").
troopers policemen. squatter Australian squatters started as early
farmers who raised livestock on land which they did not legally
have the right to use; in many cases they later gained legal use of
the land even though they did not have full possession, and became
wealthy thanks to these large land holdings. The squatter's claim
to the land may be as uncertain as the swagman's claim to the
jumbuck.
Slide 7
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a
coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy
boiled: "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?" Waltzing
Matilda, waltzing Matilda You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me
And he sang as he watched 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 shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag: "You'll
come a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Up rode the squatter, mounted on
his thoroughbred. Down came the troopers, one, two, and three.
"Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come
a-waltzing Matilda, with me." Up jumped the swagman and sprang into
the billabong. "You'll never take me alive!" said he And his ghost
may be heard as you pass by that billabong: "Who'll come a-waltzing
Matilda, with me?"
