Current song lyrics
And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda<br /><br />When I was a young man I carried me pack<br />I lived the free life of a rover<br />From the Murray's green banks to the dusty outback<br />Well, I waltzed my Matilda all over<br />Then in 1915 my country said: Son,<br />Time to stop rambling, there's work to be done<br />And they gave me a tin hat, they gave me a gun<br />And they marched me away to the war<br /><br />And the band played Waltzing Matilda<br />As the ship sailed away from the quay<br />Midst the songs and the cheers, flag waving and tears<br />We sailed off for Gallipoli<br /><br />It's well I remember that terrible day<br />Our blood stained the sand and the water<br />And of how in that hell we call Suvla Bay<br />We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter<br />The big Turkish shell caught me arse over head<br />And when I awoke in my hospital bed<br />And saw what it had done, well I wished I was dead<br />Never knew there was worse things than dying<br /><br />For I'll go no more Waltzing Matilda<br />All along the green land running free<br />For to hunt and to pace, a man needs both legs<br />No more waltzing Matilda for me<br /><br />They gathered the injured, the wounded, the maimed<br />And they shipped us back home to Australia<br />The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane<br />Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla<br />And as the ship sailed into Circular Quay<br />I looked at the place where my legs used to be<br />And thank Christ there was nobody there waiting for me<br />To mourn and to grieve and to pity<br /><br />And the Band played Waltzing Matilda<br />As they wheeled us down the gangway<br />And nobody cheered, they just stood there and stared<br />Then they turned all their faces away<br /><br />And the band still plays Waltzing Matilda<br />And the young men still answer the call<br />But as year follows year, more young men disappear<br />Someday, no one will march here at all<br /><br />Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda<br />Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?<br />And their ghosts may be heard as they march by the billabong<br />Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?
