Dubliners - The Band Played Waltzing Matilda слова песни




The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, Eric BogleWhen I was a young man I carried me packAnd I lived the free life of the roverFrom the Murray`s green basin to the dusty outbackI waltzed my Matilda all overThen in 1915 my country said: Son,It`s time to stop rambling, there`s work to be doneSo they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gunAnd they sent me away to the war And the band played Waltzing MatildaWhen the ship pulled away from the quayAnd amid all the tears, flag waving and cheersWe sailed off for Gallipoli It well I remember that terrible dayWhen our blood stained the sand and the waterAnd how in that hell they call Suvla BayWe were butchered like lambs at the slaughterJohnny Turk, he was ready, he primed himself wellHe rained us with bullets, and he showered us with shellAnd in five minutes flat, we were all blown to hellHe nearly blew us back home to Australia And the band played Waltzing MatildaWhen we stopped to bury our slainWell we buried ours and the Turks buried theirsThen it started all over again Oh those that were living just tried to surviveIn that mad world of blood, death and fireAnd for ten weary weeks I kept myself aliveWhile around me the corpses piled higherThen a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over headAnd when I awoke in me hospital bedAnd saw what it had done, I wished I was deadI never knew there was worse things than dying Oh no more I`ll go Waltzing MatildaAll around the green bush far and nearFor to hump tent and pegs, a man needs both legsNo more waltzing Matilda for me They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimedAnd they shipped us back home to AustraliaThe armless, the legless, the blind and the insaneThose proud wounded heroes of SuvlaAnd when the ship pulled into Circular QuayI looked at the place where me legs used to beAnd thank Christ there was no one there waiting for meTo grieve and to mourn and to pity And the Band played Waltzing MatildaWhen they carried us down the gangwayOh nobody cheered, they just stood there and staredThen they turned all their faces away Now every April I sit on my porchAnd I watch the parade pass before meI see my old comrades, how proudly they marchRenewing their dreams of past gloriesI see the old men all tired, stiff and wornThose weary old heroes of a forgotten warAnd the young people ask "What are they marching for?"And I ask myself the same question And the band plays Waltzing MatildaAnd the old men still answer the callBut year after year, their numbers get fewerSomeday, no one will march there at all Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing MatildaWho`ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?And their ghosts may be heard as they march by the billabongSo who`ll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?
