Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues "Waltzing Matilda"

Album: Used Songs

Lyrics-Text:

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

I got what I paid for now

See ya tomorrow hey Frank can I borrow

a couple of bucks from you

To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

You'll go waltzing Matilda 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 Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

Now the dogs are barking

and the taxi cabs parking

A lot they can do for me

I begged you to stab me

you tore my shirt open

And I'm down on my knees tonight

Old Bushmills I staggered

you buried the dagger in

Your silhouette window light

To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

Now I've lost my Saint Christopher

now that I've kissed her

And the one-armed bandit knows

And the maverick Chinaman, and the cold blooded signs

And the girls down by the strip tease shows, go

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

No, I don't want your sympathy

the fugitives say

That the streets aren't for dreaming now

manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories

They want a piece of the action anyhow

Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

And you can ask any sailor

and the keys from the jailor

And the old men in wheelchairs know

that Matilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred

And she follows wherever you may go

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,

You'll go waltzing Matilda with me

And it's a battered old suitcase

to a hotel someplace

And a wound that will never heal

No prima donna the perfume is on an

Old shirt that is stained

with blood and whiskey

And goodnight to the street sweepers

the night watchmen flame keepers

And goodnight Matilda too

Why would anyone who wants to watch a Tom Waits video care about febreeze? These advertisements are awful. They're taking over the internet. And I will intentionally never buy febreeze ever again. #Ihatebeingadvertisedto

So how does belching in a mic count as singing?

Nochmals Tom Waits, mit seiner lyrischen Ballade "Tom Traubert's Blues", frei nach der Melodie von Australiens inoffizieller Nationalhymne "Waltzing Matilda". >>>>Again, Tom Waits, with his lyrical ballad "Tom Traubert's Blues", to the freely adapted tune of Australia's unofficial national anthem "Waltzing Matilda".

6 thumbs down, I bet not one of them has ever or can ever be a musician.

Maybe one of his best songs, right up there with Take it with me, Time, and Dirt in the Ground.

So sad to know that a song like this attaches to a time that is gone for good. Never to return on this earth. Just a memory now. What do we get for it?

I once was seeing this girl for 3 years and was faithful the entire time. Then one day we had a fight and broke up for a few days. On the day we got back together I slept with someone else. I woke up the next day in the other girl's bed riddled with guilt and with such a profound sadness at the hopelessness of the relationship. I went home and my roommate was listening to this song. Same recording. It's been over ten years since then but the same feeling overcomes me when I hear it. It's the feeling of desperation. But somehow Tom Waits makes it sound beautiful. Thanks for posting.
