All credits to Rod Stewart. The amazing song originally performed by Tom Waits, this is the incredible version of Rod Stewart. With Lyrics

Wasted and wounded

And it ain't what the moon did

I got what I paid for now

See you 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 strength is soaking away

To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll go a waltzing Malitda with me

Now the dogs they are barking

and the taxi cab's 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

Your silhouette window light

To go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

Now I've lost my St. Christopher

Now that I kissed her

And the one-arm bandit knows

And the maverick Chinaman

with the cold-blooded sigh

And the girls down by the striptease shows go

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll go a waltzing Matilda with me

No I don't want your sympathy

Fugitives say

that the streets aren't for dreaming now

Manslaughter dragnet

and the ghost that sells memories

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

in a hotel someplace

And a wound that would never heal

No prima donnas the perfume is on

and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey

And goodnight to the street-sweepers,

The night watchmen flame-keepers

And goodnight Matilda too

Goodnight Matilda too.
