Wasted and wounded
Ain't what the moon did
Got what I paid for now
I see you tomorrow
Hey Frank can I borrow
A couple of bucks from you
To go waltzing Mathilda
Waltzing Mathilda
You go waltzing Mathilda with me
I'm an innocent victim
Of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks my language
And everything's broken
And my strength is soaking away
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda
You, you go waltzing Mathilda with me
Now the dogs are barking
And the taxi keeps parking
There's a lot you can do for me
Well I beg you to stab me
I tore my shirt open
And I bowed on my knees tonight
All bushmills are staggered
We bury the dagger
And your silhouette window light
You go waltzing, waltzing Mathilda
You, you go waltzing Mathilda with me
No I don't want your sympathy
Fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets
The ghost that sells memories
They want a piece of the action anyhow
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda
You, you go waltzing Mathilda with me
You can ask any sailor
No kiss from the tailor
The old men in wheelchairs know
But Mathilda's the defendant
She killed 'bout a hundred
She follows wherever you may go, you go waltzing
It's a battered old suitcase
In a hotel someplace
With some wound that will never heal
And no prima donna's perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained
With blood and whisky
And good night to the street sweepers
The night watchmen, flame keepers
Good night Mathilda too
Good night Thilda too
