When I was a young man I carried my pack
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And I lived the free life of a rover
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
From the Murrays green basin to the dusty outback
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
I waltzed my Matilda all over
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Then in nineteen fifteen my country said Son
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
It's time to stop rambling 'cause there's work to be
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
done
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And they sent me away to the war
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
As we sailed away from the quay
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And amidst all the tears and the shouts and the
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
cheers
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
We sailed off to Gallipoli
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
How well I remember that terrible day
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
When the blood stained the sand and the water
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Johnny Turk he was ready, he primed himself well
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
He showered us with bullets, he rained us with
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
shells
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And in five minutes flat he'd blown us all to hell
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Nearly blew us right back to Australia
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
But the band played Waltzing Matilda
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
As we stopped to bury our slain
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
And we buried ours and the Turks buried theirs
![](/images/songs/translate_icon.png)
Then it started all over again
