[N]
Mr.
Rogers, may I join you?
Why certainly, Mr.
Durante.
How about our doing a folk tune?
Why not?
After all, we're both folk.
Go ahead, Jimmy.
[Gb] All right.
Once a jolly swag man camped by a billabong
Under the shade [Dbm] of a koolabah [B] tree
Hold it, hold it.
Swag man, billabong, koolabah.
What kind of words are them?
[N] Well, I don't analyze them, Jimmy.
I just sing them.
Actually, this is a song called Waltzing Matilda, and it's an Australian folk song.
Well, in that case, I'll have to consult my Australian dictionary.
Uh, billabong.
Billabong, billabong, billabong, refer to scallabang.
Scallabang, scallabang.
Scallabang, same as billabong.
[G] Get in.
Well, Jimmy, actually, [A] it's very easy.
A billabong is a waterhole, and a scag man is a tramp, and a koolabah is a eucalyptus tree.
Good, good.
For a moment, I thought the song had no message.
[Db] Continue.
And he sang, [Bb] and he watched, and [B] he waited while his billy boiled.
Billy boiled?
[B] That's a, that's a hen camped in boiling water.
[D] I can't get used to that kangaroo bop.
Come on, Jimmy, why don't you try a verse?
All right.
Throw a chord at me.
[Gb] Down came a [Bb] jambuck to drink at the [B] billabong.
This song is Australia's answer to Mac the Knife.
I think you'd better carry on alone, Jimmy.
Maybe something in English like, uh, to-kun-kun-carry.
All [G] right.
To-kun-kun-carry, I think I'm gonna burn.
Twelve more miles to-kun-carry, I'll be [Em] hurrying there.
[G] To the gal I'm gonna marry with the yellowest hair.
I'll let her [Am] fry it, march along, [Bm] I just gotta get home.
[G] Ten more miles to [Am]-kun-carry, then I'll never [G] more roam.
To-kun-carry, to-kun [Ab]-carry, I just gotta get home.
Eight more miles to-kun-carry, it's supposed to fly.
Been three years in January [Db] since I kissed a [Ab] goodbye.
We'll let her [Bbm] fry it, march along, I just gotta [Eb] get home.
[Ab] Six more [Db] miles to-kun-carry, then I'll never [Ab] more roam.
To-kun-carry, to-kun [A]-carry, I just gotta get home.
Four more miles to-kun-carry, not much further to go.
I got no time to waste, too very, she'll be waiting, I know.
[Dbm] We'll let her [D] fry it, march [Dbm] along, I just gotta get [A] home.
Two more [D] miles to-kun-carry, then I'll [A] never more roam.
To-kun-carry, to-kun [Bb]-carry, I just gotta get home.
Here I am in to-kun-carry, I'm my yellow-haired [Gm] gal.
[Dm] Just in time to see [Cm] her marry with [Bb] my very best pal.
We'll [A] let her fry it, march along, guess [Dm] I'd better be gone.
Miles and miles to [Gm]-kun-carry, I'll be [Bb] ramblin' on.
To-kun-carry, to [B]-kun-carry, I'll be ramblin' on.
I'm a hundred miles to-kun-carry, down [Abm] in Santa Fe.
[B] Fell in love [Abm] with a girl they married, gee, [B] I'm happy today.
[Eb] No more [Dbm] marchin' now, bummer, [Gb] honeycomb.
[B] I've forgotten to-kun-carry, no more reason to roam.
I've forgotten to-kun [Dbm]-carry, no more [B] reason to roam.
