[G] [C] There once was a [G] jolly swag [Am] camped [F] by a billabong [C] Under the shade [F] of a cul-de [G]-sac tree
[C] And he sang as he [G] watched [Am] and waited [F] till his billy boiled
[C]
You'll come a-waltzing [Dm] but [G] till the [C]
mead
Down [G] came a jump buck [Am] to drink [F] at the [C] billabong
Up got the swaggy and [F] grabbed him [G] with glee
[C] And he sang [G] as he stowed that [Am] jump buck [F] in his tucker [C] bag
You'll come a-waltzing [D] but till the [C] mead

[C] And he sang as [G] he stowed [Am] that jump buck [F] in his tucker bag
[C] You'll come a-waltzing [D] but [G] till the, [C] with me

And I've got the [G] swaggy [Am] and jumped into [F] the billabong
[C] You'll never catch me [F] alive, said [G] he
And [C] his ghost [G] may be heard as [Am] you pass [F] by that billabong
[C] You'll come a-waltzing [Dm] but [G] till the, [C] with me
[Bb] Waltzing but till [Am] the, [F] waltzing [G] but till the
