And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

            And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda
Eric Bogle

When I was a young man
I carried my pack
And I lived the free life of a rover

From the Murray's green basin
To the dusty outback
I waltzed my Matilda all over

Then in 1915, my country said son
It's time you stopped rambling, there's work to be done
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war

And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As we sailed away from the quay
And amidst all the cheers
The shouts and the tears
We sailed off for Gallipoli

How well I remember that terrible day
When the blood stained the sand and the water
And how in the hell that they called Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter

Johnny Turk, he was ready
He'd primed himself well
He showered us with bullets
And he rained us with shells

And in five minutes flat
He'd blown us all to hell
Nearly blew us right back
To Australia

And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As we stopped to bury our slain
We buried ours, and the Turks buried theirs
Then we started all over again
