lirik lagu and the band played waltzing matilda (early version) – the pogues
[verse 1]
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
[verse 2]
then in 1915, my country said, “son
it’s time to stop 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
[chorus]
and the band played waltzing matilda
as we sailed away from the quay
and amidst all the tears, the shouts and the cheers
we sailed off for gallipoli
[verse 3]
now those who were living did their best to survivе
in that mad world of death, blood and fire
and for sevеn long weeks, i kept myself alive
though the corpses around me grew higher
[verse 4]
then a big turkish sh*ll knocked me *rs* over tits
and when i awoke in my hospital bed
and saw what it had done, christ, i wished i was dead
never knew there were worse things than dying
[chorus 2]
and no more i’ll go waltzing matilda
to the green bushes so far and near
for the hang tents and pegs, a man needs two legs
no more waltzing matilda for me
[verse 5]
and now i’m an old man, i sit on my porch
and i watch the parade pass before me
i see my old comrades, how proudly they march
reliving the dreams of past glory
[verse 6]
i see the old men, all tattered and torn
the forgotten heroes of a forgotten war
and the young people ask me, “what are they marching for?”
and i ask myself the same question
[chorus 3]
and the band plays waltzing matilda
and the old men still answer the call
but year after year, their numbers get fewer
someday no one will march there at all
[outro]
waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
who’ll go a*waltzing matilda with me?
