Listening Listen to the song Waltzing Matilda and fill in the gaps in your book.
Oh,there was once a swagman camped in a billabong,
under the shade of a coolibar tree.
And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda my darling?
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?
Waltzing Matilda and carrying a tunker bag
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water hole
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him happily
And he sang as he put him away in his tucker bag.
Down came the landowner on his horse
Down came the policemen, one, two, three.
Whose is that jumbuck you've got in that bag?
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?
Up jumped the swagman and jumped into the water hole
Drowning himself by the coolibar tree.
And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong.
