100 Years On - Redgum[00:00:00]

He came in from Melbourne on a Pioneer[00:00:13]

Adelaide morning[00:00:17]

Warm and clear[00:00:18]

And a past that wasn't quite within the law[00:00:19]

And he opened yet another ten dollar room[00:00:26]

To a broken blind and a rising gloom[00:00:29]

And a threadbare cotton carpet on the floor[00:00:33]

And the muzak piping through the corridor[00:00:39]

Played that song he heard before[00:00:43]

It went[00:00:46]

Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me[00:00:47]

Suitcase held with rope and twine[00:00:55]

Cleaner's shirt and an open mind[00:00:59]

A trail of debts to mark[00:01:01]

Where he had been[00:01:04]

A million miles of racetracks[00:01:08]

And torn tickets on the ground[00:01:11]

And his only son[00:01:14]

Cut down in Phnom Penh green[00:01:16]

Police car crawled down Gouger street[00:01:21]

As he looked for some place cheap to eat[00:01:25]

It was just another curbside interview[00:01:27]

With a warrant out in Adelaide[00:01:34]

For a bad decision that he once made[00:01:38]

An instinct took his tongue[00:01:41]

And pulled him through[00:01:44]

So he left his hotel room that night[00:01:48]

In time to make a midnight flight[00:01:51]

With an overloaded truckie going east[00:01:54]

And the line ran round inside his head[00:02:01]

Was it something that his best friend said[00:02:05]

Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me[00:02:09]

Billabong's just a grubby pond[00:02:17]

That's busy washing ore[00:02:20]

The squatter drives a thoroughbred steel[00:02:23]

And if he runs forever[00:02:30]

Will his life be all in vain[00:02:33]

Least that's how it makes him feel[00:02:37]

And the truckie pushed a cassette in[00:02:43]

As they rumbled through the Grampians[00:02:46]

It played[00:02:49]

Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me[00:02:50]

Waltzing Matilda[00:02:59]

Waltzing Matilda[00:03:02]

Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me[00:03:06]

Waltzing Matilda[00:03:12]

Waltzing Matilda[00:03:16]

Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me[00:03:19]

And the truckie pushed a cassette in[00:03:25]

As they rumbled through the Grampians[00:03:28]

It played[00:03:31]

Who come a-waltzing Matilda with me[00:03:32]
