G

When I was a y C oung man I c G arried my pack

And I l G ived the free l D ife of a r G over

From the M G urrays green b D asin to the d C usty outb G ack

I w G altzed my Mat D ilda all G over

Then in n D ineteen fifteen my co C untry said o G eSon,

Itoes D time to stop rambling cos thereoes C work to be G doneoe

So they g G ave me a t C in hat and they g G ave me a gun

And they s G ent me a D way to the G war

And the b G and played W C altzing Mat G ilda

As G we sailed aw C ay from the qu D ay

And am C idst all the tears and the sh G outs and the cheers

We s G ailed off to G D allipol G i

H G ow well I rem C ember that t G errible day

When the bl G ood stained the s D and and the w G ater

And w G hen in that t D own that they c C alled Suvla B G ay

We were b G utchered like l D ambs at the sl G aughter

Johnny T D urk he was ready, he pri C med himself w G ell

He chase D d us with bullets, he ra C ined us with sh G ells

And in f G ive minutes fl C at heoed b G lown us all to hell

Ne G arly blew us right b D ack to Austr G alia

And the b G and played W C altzing Mat G ilda

As we st G opped to b C ury our sl D ain

And we b C uried ours and the T G urks buried theirs

Then we st G arted all D over ag G ain

Now th G ose that were l C iving did their b G est to survive

In a m G ad world of bl D ood, death and f G ire,

And, for s G even long we D eks, I k C ept myself al G ive

But the c G orpses aro D und me piled h G igher

Then a b D ig Turkish shell knocked me a C rse over t G it

And wh D en I awoke in my h C ospital b G ed

I saw wha G t it had do C ne. Christ ! I w G ished I was dead

Never k G new there were w D orse things than dy G ing

For Ioe G ll go no more C waltzing Ma G tilda

All around the gr G een bush f C ar and n D ear

For to h C ump tent and pegs, a m G an needs both legs

No more W G altzing Mat D ilda for m G e

So they colle G cted the cr C ipples, the woun G ded, the maimed,

And they sh G ipped us back h D ome to Austr G alia

The l G egless, the a D rmless, the bl C ind, the ins G ane,

Those pr G oud wounded h D eroes of Suv G la

And a D s our ship pulled into C C ircular B G ay

I lo D oked at the place my l C egs used to G be

And thank Ch G rist there was C no one w G aiting for me

To gr G ieve and to mo D urn and to p G ity

And the b G and played W C altzing Mat G ilda

As they c G arried us d C own the gangw D ay

But n C obody cheered, they just st G ood and stared

Then they tu G rned all their f D aces aw G ay

And n G ow every A C pril I s G it on my porch

And I w G atch the par D ade pass bef G ore me

I s G ee my old c D omrades, how p C roudly they m G arch,

Renew G ing old dr D eams of past gl G ory

I s D ee the old men march slowly, all bent, s C tiff and s G ore

The f D orgotten heroes from a f C orgotten w G ar

And the yo G ung people as C k oewhat are the G y marching for ?oe

And I G ask mys D elf the same qu G estion

And the b G and played W C altzing Mat G ilda

And the o G ld men still a C nswer to the c D all

But y C ear after year their n G umber gets fewer

Some day no G one will m D arch there at G all

W G altzing Matilda, W C altzing Matilda

Wh G o'll come a-waltzing Matilda with m D e
