《Matilda No More》歌词

[00:00:00] Matilda No More - Slim Dusty

[00:00:05] Once Jolly swagmen went humpin' their swags

[00:00:09] And stuffed jolly jumbucks in their tuckerbags

[00:00:15] These days jolly junkies go on bag snatchin jags

[00:00:20] And steal to buy the poison they need

[00:00:24] The old swaggie just wanted a feed

[00:00:29] And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

[00:00:34] Oh Banjo this country's not what it used to be

[00:00:38] We've changed all your words and rewritten your score

[00:00:43] Now it's waltzing Matilda no more

[00:00:52] Once Henry and Mary on a warm afternoon

[00:00:56] Rode down a reedy river to the broad bright lagoon

[00:01:02] The song of the river is a long vanished tune

[00:01:07] Since they built the uranium mine

[00:01:12] What's just left now is just toxic slime

[00:01:16] And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

[00:01:21] Oh Henry this country's not what it used to be

[00:01:25] Days pass with a whimper and not with the roar

[00:01:30] And it's waltzing Matilda no more

[00:01:39] We cut down the trees and the land we reclaimed

[00:01:43] We ploughed and we planted

[00:01:45] Then we ploughed once again

[00:01:49] And again and again and again and again

[00:01:54] So now on a hot windy day

[00:01:58] We can watch our topsoil blown away

[00:02:03] And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

[00:02:07] The desert is marching down to the sea

[00:02:12] On the day that it stretches from shore to far shore

[00:02:17] We'll go waltzing Matilda no more

[00:02:26] Saturday night outside a Kings Cross hotel

[00:02:30] Kids with hard drugs and soft bodies to sell

[00:02:36] Australia these children are halfway to hell

[00:02:41] Oh is this the best deal you can give

[00:02:46] Well I find that hard to believe

[00:02:50] And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

[00:02:54] Hey ANZAC is this what you fought to keep free

[00:02:58] A land fit for heroes or homeless and poor

[00:03:04] And it's waltzing Matilda no more

[00:03:08] And who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

[00:03:12] This country could still be what we want it to be

[00:03:17] With care and compassion the dream we'll restore

[00:03:22] And we'll go waltzing Matilda once more yeah

[00:03:26] We'll go waltzing Matilda once more
