Lyrics And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda

When I was a young man
I carried me pack and I lived the free life of the rover
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over
Then in nineteen-fifteen my country said Son it's time to stop ramblin'
There's work to be done
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 when the ship pulled away from the quay
And amid all the tears flag wavin' and cheers we sailed off for Gallipoli
It well I remember that terrible day when our blood stained the sand and the water
And how in that hell they call Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
Johnny Turk he was ready
He primed himself well
He rained us with bullets and he showered us with shell
And in five minutes flat we were all blown to hell
He nearly blew us back home to Australia
And the band played Waltzing Matilda when we stopped to bury our slain
Well we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs then it started all over again
Oh those that were livin' just tried to survive in that mad world of blood death and fire
And for ten weary weeks
I kept myself alive while around me the corpses piled higher
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head and when I awoke in me hospital bed
And saw what it had done
I wished I was dead
I never knew there was worse things than dyin'
Oh no more I'll go
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
They collected the wounded
The crippled
The maimed
And they shipped us back home to Australia
The armless
The legless
The blind and the insane
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
And when the ship pulled into Circular Quay
I looked at the place where me legs used to be
And thank Christ there was no one there waitin' for me
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
And the band played Waltzing Matilda when they carried us down the gangway
Oh nobody cheered
They just stood there and stared then they turned all their faces away
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
Renewin' their dreams of past glories
I see the old men all tired, stiff and worn
Those weary old heroes of a forgotten war
And the young people ask
What are they marchin' for
And I ask myself the same question
And the band plays Waltzing Matilda and the old men still answer the call
But year after year their numbers get fewer
Someday no one will march there at all
Waltzing Matilda
Waltzing Matilda
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
And their ghosts may be heard as they march by the billabong
So who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
