Karaoke Track: AND THE BAND PLAYED WALTZING MATILDA by BUSHWACKERS (Capital Karaoke) - Karaoke Nerds

WHEN I WAS A
YOUNG MAN

I CARRIED A PACK

AND I LIVED THE FREE

AND THE BAND PLAYED
WALTZING MATILDA
AND THEY SENT ME

AWAY TO THE WAR

AND THE BAND PLAYED
WALTZING MATILDA
AS OUR SHIP PULLED

AWAY FROM THE QUAY

WE SAILED OFF FOR

GALLIPOLI

HOW WELL I REMEMBER

THAT TERRIBLE DAY

FLAT HE'D BLOWN US
TO HELL
NEARLY BLEW US RIGHT

BACK TO AUSTRALIA

AND THE BAND PLAYED

WALTZING MATILDA

AS WE STOPPED TO BURY

THE SLAIN

WE BURIED OURS AND

THE TURKS BURIED

AS WE STOPPED TO BURY

THE SLAIN

ALL OVER AGAIN
THEY COLLECTED

THE CRIPPLES

THEN WE STARTED

MOURN AND TO PITY
THERE WAS NOBODY

WAITING FOR ME

TO GRIEVE AND TO

g

MOURN AND TO PITY
AND THE BAND PLAYED
WALTZING MATILDA

TO GRIEVE AND TO

DOWN TH E GANGWAY

BUT NOBODY CHEERED

THEY JUST STOOD THERE

AS THEY CARRIED US

SO NOW EVERY APRIL

I SIT ON MY PORCH

AND I WATCH THE

g

PARADE PASS
BEFORE ME

AND I SEE MY OLD

COMRADES HOW PROUDLY

SLOWLY THEIR BONES

RE-LIVING OLD DREAMS

AN D PAST GLO RY

BUT THE OLD MEN MARCH

THE SAME QUESTION
ASK WHAT ARE

THEY MARCHING FOR

AND I ASK MESELF

g

THE SAME QUESTION
BUT THE BAND PLAYED
WALTZING MATILDA

AND I ASK MESELF

SOON

NO-ONE WILL MARCH

THERE AT ALL

AND THE BAND PLAYED
