Who of the group is singing the main part? Is that Ferguson?

I also highly recommend "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by the Pogues.

Thanks for sharing

I'm astonished at this mix. The verses are sung to the Queensland version of the song and the chorus is sung to the NSW version. I've put the two versions together before but never like this.

I always kinda thought that waltzing Matilda was like the hemp fandango . . .

The meaning of the song? here ya go....A swagman (man carrying a swag) Swag is a bedroll and other needs rolled up to carry over his shoulder. who camped by a Billabong (shady area of a creek) Coolibah tree (tree) Billy boiled...usually a tin can of water placed over a fire and when it starts to boil he would throw some tea into it. Jumbuck (sheep) Tucker bag ( food bag) Squatter..Owner of a sheep "farm" that squatted when land was given away for next to nothing. Trooper...Policeman. (123) was the troopers number and the rest is self explanatory.

I learned this song in 1944 at age 11, in our school choir. The teacher explained the words, and I've never forgotten them. We sang a variety of patriotic songs on the radio in Hamilton, Ontario This is a great version. - Ted B.

Songs with a story like this are awesome, for some reason I think of Chris De Burgh's "Spanish Train" listening to this.

G'day all you folk who have made queries re: Waltzing Matilda. A Matilda is a 'swag' or a  'bedroll'. There were many 'Swagmen' in Australia when times were hard and lean. Generally before and only just after WWII going back through from the 1800s to mid 1950s. Swagmen usually found work shearing sheep (which they were paid going rates for) and between shearing, fronted up for any other tasks they could undertake, for a meal and somewhere dry to sleep.A.B.(Banjo) Paterson. arguably Australia's greatest poet, wrote 'Waltzing Matilda' while working on a sheep property near Winton in Mid Western Queensland, Australia in the early years of the 20thC, around 1905/10. Waltzing Matilda has become the unofficial anthem of Australians around the world.

Not word perfect, from an Aussies point of view, but passable,,, Get it word perfect and Aussies around the world will stand up and join in, hoisting beers in the air to celebrate Australia and its welcome to the world.
