Alpo Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 That doesn't fit the mental image I have of a swagman. He's got two axes, a frying pan, looks like four billies and two muckets. Inside the tree that looks like about a 5 inch thick mattress. That's an awful lot of stuff to tote for a hobo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Looks like he’s been there awhile and that’s his permanent residence. Until someone tells him otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Brules Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 “WALTZING MATILDA” Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree, He sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me He sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled, you'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag, you'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda you'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred, Up rode the troopers, one, two, three, With the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me With the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, you scoundrel with me. Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong, You'll never catch me alive, said he, And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, you'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me. Oh, you'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
