[Verse 1]
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did
I got what I paid for now
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you?

[Chorus]
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse 2]
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English and everything's broken
And my Stacys are soaking wet

[Chorus]
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse 3]
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking
And a lot they can do for me
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Old Bushmill's I staggered, you buried the dagger
Your silhouette window light
[Chorus]
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse 4]
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I'vе kissed her
And the onе-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman and the cold-blooded signs
And the girls down by the striptease shows

[Chorus]
Go, waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse 5]
No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say
That the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets, the ghosts that sell memories
They want a piece of the action anyhow

[Chorus]
To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse 6]
And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailor
And the old men in the wheelchairs know
That Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever you may go
[Chorus]
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse 7]
And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers
The night watchman flame keepers
And goodnight Matilda too
