 When I was a young man I carried my pack
 And I lived the free life of a rover
 From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback
 I waltzed my Matilda all over
 Then in nineteen fifteen my country said oeSon
 Itoes time to stop rambling cos thereoes work to be doneoe
 So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
 And they sent me away to the war
 And the band played Waltzing Matilda
 As we sailed away from the quay
 And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the cheers
 We sailed off to Gallipoli
 How well I remember that terrible day
 When the blood stained the sand and the water
 And when in that town that they called Suvla Bay
 We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
 Johnny Turk he was ready he primed himself well
 He chased us with bullets he rained us with shells
 And in five minutes flat heoed blown us all to hell
 Nearly blew us right back to Australia
 And the band played Waltzing Matilda
 As we stopped to bury our slain
 And we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
 Then we started all over again
 Now those that were living did their best to survive
 In a mad world of blood death and fire
 And for seven long weeks I kept myself alive
 But the corpses around me piled higher
 Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over tit
 And when I awoke in my hospital bed
 I saw what it had done. Christ ! I wished I was dead
 Never knew there were worse things than dying
 For Ioell go no more waltzing Matilda
 All around the green bush far and near
 For to hump tent and pegs a man needs both legs
 No more Waltzing Matilda for me
 So they collected the cripples the wounded the maimed
 And they shipped us back home to Australia
 The legless the armless the blind the insane
 Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
 And as our ship pulled into Circular Bay
 I looked at the place my legs used to be
 And thank Christ there was no one waiting for me
 To grieve and to mourn and to pity
 And the band played Waltzing Matilda
 As they carried us down the gangway
 But nobody cheered they just stood and stared
 Then they turned all their faces away
 And now every April I sit on my porch
 And I watch the parade pass before me
 I see my old comrades how proudly they march
 Renewing old dreams of past glory
 I see the old men march slowly all bent stiff and sore
 The forgotten heroes from a forgotten war
 And the young people ask oewhat are they marching for ?oe
 And I ask myself the same question
 And the band played Waltzing Matilda
 And the old men still answer to the call
 But year after year their number gets fewer
 Some day no one will march there at all
 Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
 Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
