Waltzing Matilda (alt version)

Position: 21° 50' S, 141° 0' E

In the Isa (Mount Isa) been down't pit. Twas cool. Anzac day tomorrow. Wondering weather to stay or go. Probably go, aparently 60 down the road is free camping. Probably get a few beers and some ice and camp there for the night if I can find a bottleo open on easter sunday. That'll leave on more town between here and the NT.

Need to send a few mails no real reason for a blog. I posted this on Facebook after the breakdown a couple of days ago:

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree,
And he cursed as he saw a light flashing on his dashboard
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,
And he swore as he watched a light flashing on his dashboard
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
....................
Back drove the swag man, back to the billabong
He searched for a garage but the garage was too busy
And he crawled and he wriggled as he fiddled with his alternator
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,
And he crawled and he wriggled as he fiddled with his alternator
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
.....................
Up rose the swagman, up from beneath his van
Off went the warning lights One Two Three
Whose that pommy bush mechanic camped by the Billabong?
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
Whose that pommy bush mechanic camped by the Billabong?
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
......................
Up jumped the swagman sprang into the driving seat
My clapped out banger’s still alive said he,
And his oil stains may be seen as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
And his oil stains may be seen as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Shella from Miss Tippy  has requested a musical version with me singing, I don't believe she was there for either of my last singing outings "Paint it Black" by the Stones in Nuie, and the campfire in Nuku Hiva. So I'll give her the benifit of the doubt. Believe me you don't want to hear me sing.
