Waltzing Matilda

Just me

And my feet

And my swag

In the heat

Just me

All alone

With the dreams

that I own

It’s a dance

of a kind

stripped down

and bare

Come walk

with me

Try a smile

if you dare

It’s a life

that I live

With my world

in a bag

I don’t have

a house

or a boat

0r a Jag.

It’s not a dance

or a girl

or a square

stable home

It’s the earth

and the sky

and the road

that I roam.

Just a waltz

down the lane

With the dust

in my eyes

Matilda and me

Have said

our goodbyes.
