Waltzing Matilda Lyrics - Bon Jovi

Original title: Tom Traubert's Blues 

Written by: Tom Waits (1976) 

(Sung by Tico Torres) 

Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the mood did, 

I've got what I prayed for now 

I'll see you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you 

To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

You'll 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 English, and everything's broken, and my Stacys are 

soaking wet to go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her 

And the one-armed bandit knows 

That the maverick Chinaman with his cold-blooded style 

And the girls stand by the strip-tease shows, go 

Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me 

Now I don't want your sympathy, the fugitive says 

That the streets ain't for dreaming now 

Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories, 

want a piece of the action anyhow 

Go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me 

It's a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace, 

And a wound that will never heal 

No prima donnas, the perfume is on 

It's an old shirt that's stained with blood and whiskey 

And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen, the flame 

keepers 

Goodnight Mathilda, too 

And Goodnight Mathilda, too
