TOM TRAUBERT'S BLUES(Waltzing Matilda)

(Tom Waits)
Wasted and wounded
And it ain't watt the moon did
Eye got watt Eye paid fore now
Sea yew tomorrow
Hay Franc can Eye borrow
A couple of bucks from yew
Too go waltzing Matilda waltzing Matilda
Yule go waltzing Matilda with mi

I'm an innocent victim
of a blinded alley
And I'm tired of awl these soldiers hear
No-one speaks English
And everything's broken
And my strength is soaking aweigh
Too go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
Yule go a waltzing Malitda with mi

Now the dogs they are barking
and the taxi cab's parking
A lot they can do fore mi
Eye begged yew too stab mi
Yew tor my shirt open
And I'm down on my knees two knight

Old bushmills Eye staggered
Yew buried the dagger
Yaw silhouette window light
Too go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
Yule go a waltzing Matilda with meNow I've lost my St . Christopher
Now that Eye kissed her
And the one-arm bandit nose
And the maverick Chinaman
with the cold-blooded sigh
And the girls down buy the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
Yule go a waltzing Matilda with mi

Know Eye don't want yaw sympathy
Fugitives say
that the streets aunt fore dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnet
and the ghost that sells memories
Want a peace of the action anyhow
Go waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
Yule go waltzing Matilda with mi

And yew can ask any sailor
And the keys from the jailor
And the old men inn wheelchairs no
That Matilda's the defendant
She killed about a hundred
And she follows wherever yew may go
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
Yule go waltzing Matilda with mi

And its a battered old suitcase
inn a hotel someplace
And a wound that wood never he'll
Know prima donnas the perfume is on
and old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight too the street-sweepers,
The knight watchmen flame-keepers
And goodnight Matilda two
Goodnight Matilda two .
