Matilda No More - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]

Once Jolly swagmen went humpin' their swags[00:00:05]

And stuffed jolly jumbucks in their tuckerbags[00:00:09]

These days jolly junkies go on bag snatchin jags[00:00:15]

And steal to buy the poison they need[00:00:20]

The old swaggie just wanted a feed[00:00:24]

And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me[00:00:29]

Oh Banjo this country's not what it used to be[00:00:34]

We've changed all your words and rewritten your score[00:00:38]

Now it's waltzing Matilda no more[00:00:43]

Once Henry and Mary on a warm afternoon[00:00:52]

Rode down a reedy river to the broad bright lagoon[00:00:56]

The song of the river is a long vanished tune[00:01:02]

Since they built the uranium mine[00:01:07]

What's just left now is just toxic slime[00:01:12]

And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me[00:01:16]

Oh Henry this country's not what it used to be[00:01:21]

Days pass with a whimper and not with the roar[00:01:25]

And it's waltzing Matilda no more[00:01:30]

We cut down the trees and the land we reclaimed[00:01:39]

We ploughed and we planted[00:01:43]

Then we ploughed once again[00:01:45]

And again and again and again and again[00:01:49]

So now on a hot windy day[00:01:54]

We can watch our topsoil blown away[00:01:58]

And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me[00:02:03]

The desert is marching down to the sea[00:02:07]

On the day that it stretches from shore to far shore[00:02:12]

We'll go waltzing Matilda no more[00:02:17]

Saturday night outside a Kings Cross hotel[00:02:26]

Kids with hard drugs and soft bodies to sell[00:02:30]

Australia these children are halfway to hell[00:02:36]

Oh is this the best deal you can give[00:02:41]

Well I find that hard to believe[00:02:46]

And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me[00:02:50]

Hey ANZAC is this what you fought to keep free[00:02:54]

A land fit for heroes or homeless and poor[00:02:58]

And it's waltzing Matilda no more[00:03:04]

And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me[00:03:08]

This country could still be what we want it to be[00:03:12]

With care and compassion the dream we'll restore[00:03:17]

And we'll go waltzing Matilda once more yeah[00:03:22]

We'll go waltzing Matilda once more[00:03:26]
