Waltzing Matilda My Darling

I still can see the tears as I look across the years
Trying to work out where I’ve been and where I’m going
Well this land’s been good to me,
but the lads would all agree
If there was work we all would be home in the morning
But times are hard so here we must remain
I still can hear you calling out my name

Chorus
Waltzing Matilda my darling
Waltzing Matilda with me
When I come a waltzing back home to your arms
Darling you’ll come a waltzing with me

Well the weather here is great
and the Aussies call me mate
It’s the flies I really hate here in the summer
And there’s money to be made,
that’s the reason why I’ve stayed
It’s a good life here there’s no doubt in Australia
But home is where the heart is that’s for sure
And soon I will come knocking at your door

chorus

As I sit by the phone wondering
when I’ll get back home
Then I start to feel alone without you here
All the sun, and sea and surf
couldn’t equal what you’re worth
You’re the country of my birth and land so dear
And darling when my travelling days are through
We’ll spend our lives together me and you

Chorus
