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