  5. Waltzing Matilda • http://youtu.be/INdjRCNcZj0 swagman a man who travelled the country looking for work. The swagman's "swag" was a bed roll that bundled his belongings. billabong an oxbow lake (a cut-off river bend) found alongside a meandering river. coolibah tree a kind of eucalyptus tree which grows near billabongs. jumbuck a sheep. billy a can for boiling water in, usually 2–3 pints. tucker bag a bag for carrying food ("tucker"). troopers policemen. squatter Australian squatters started as early farmers who raised livestock on land which they did not legally have the right to use; in many cases they later gained legal use of the land even though they did not have full possession, and became wealthy thanks to these large land holdings. The squatter's claim to the land may be as uncertain as the swagman's claim to the jumbuck.

  6. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabongUnder the shade of a coolibah tree,And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled:"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"Waltzing Matilda, waltzing MatildaYou'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with meAnd he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled:"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong.Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag:"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred.Down came the troopers, one, two, and three."Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong."You'll never take me alive!" said heAnd his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong:"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"
