1
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now
2
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
3
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
4
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
5
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
6
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
7
No one speaks English, and everything's broken,
8
and my Stacys are soaking wet
9
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
10
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
11
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking
12
A lot they can do for me
13
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open,
14
And I'm down on my knees tonight
15
Old Bushmill's I staggered, you'd bury the dagger
16
In your silhouette window light go
17
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
18
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
19
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her
20
And the one-armed bandit knows
21
And the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,
22
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go
23
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
24
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
25
No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say
26
That the streets aren't for dreaming now
27
And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
28
They want a piece of the action anyhow
29
Go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
30
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
31
And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,
32
And the old men in wheelchairs know
33
And Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred,
34
And she follows wherever you may go
35
Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
36
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me
37
And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,
38
And a wound that will never heal
39
No prima donna, the perfume is on an
40
Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
41
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers
42
And goodnight to Mathilda, too
