<pre><font size='+2'>AND THE BAND PLAYED WALTZING MATILDA lyrics JOHN MCDERMOTT</font><br>Now when I was a young man and I carried my pack<br />
and I lived the free life of the rover<br />
From the Murray`s green basin to the dusty out back<br />
I waltzed my Matilda all over.<br />
Then in 1915 my country said `;Son<br />
It`s time to stop rambling, there`s work to be done`;<br />
And they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun<br />
And they sent me away to the war.<br />
<br />
<br />
And the band played Waltzing Matilda<br />
As the ships pulled away from the quay<br />
And amid all the tears, flag waving and cheers<br />
We sailed off to Galipolli<br />
<br />
<br />
And how I remember that terrible day<br />
How our blood stained the sand and the water<br />
And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay<br />
We were butchered like lambs to the slaughter.<br />
<br />
<br />
Johnnie Turk was ready, oh he primed himself well<br />
He rained us with bullets and he showered us with shell<br />
And in five minutes flat we were all blown to hell<br />
nearly blew us all back home to Australia.<br />
<br />
<br />
But the band played Waltzing Matilda<br />
as we stuck to bury our slain<br />
We burned ours and the Turks buried theirs<br />
and we started all over again<br />
<br />
<br />
Those who were living just tried to survive<br />
In a mad world of blood death and fire<br />
And for ten weary weeks, I kept myself alive<br />
While around me the corpses piled higher<br />
<br />
<br />
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head<br />
And when I awoke in my hospital bed<br />
And saw what it had done and I wished I was dead<br />
Never knew there were worse things than dying<br />
For no more I`ll go Waltzing Matilda<br />
All round the green bush far and near<br />
For to hump tent and pegs a man needs both legs<br />
No more Waltzing Matilda for me.<br />
<br />
<br />
They collected the crippled, the wounded, the maimed<br />

Now when I was a young man and I carried my pack
and I lived the free life of the rover
From the Murray`s green basin to the dusty out back
I waltzed my Matilda all over.
Then in 1915 my country said `;Son
It`s time to stop rambling, there`s work to be done`;
And they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
And they sent me away to the war.

And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As the ships pulled away from the quay
And amid all the tears, flag waving and cheers
We sailed off to Galipolli

And how I remember that terrible day
How our blood stained the sand and the water
And how in that hell that they called Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs to the slaughter.

Johnnie Turk was ready, oh he primed himself well
He rained us with bullets and he showered us with shell
And in five minutes flat we were all blown to hell
nearly blew us all back home to Australia.

But the band played Waltzing Matilda
as we stuck to bury our slain
We burned ours and the Turks buried theirs
and we started all over again

Those who were living just tried to survive
In a mad world of blood death and fire
And for ten weary weeks, I kept myself alive
While around me the corpses piled higher

Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head
And when I awoke in my hospital bed
And saw what it had done and I wished I was dead
Never knew there were worse things than dying
For no more I`ll go Waltzing Matilda
All round the green bush far and near
For to hump tent and pegs a man needs both legs
No more Waltzing Matilda for me.

They collected the crippled, the wounded, the maimed
And they
