1.Early in the evening’ just about suppertime over by the courthouse they’re starting to unwind. Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up. Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.

Chorus: Down on the corner, out in the street, Willy and the Poorboys are playin’. Bring a nickel; tap your feet.

2.Rooster hits the washboard and people just gotta smile, Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for awhile. Poorboy twangs the rhythm our on his kalamazoo. Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

Chorus

3. You don’t need a penny just to hang around, but if you’ve got a nickel, won’t you lay your money down? Over on the corner there’s a happy noise. People come from all around to watch the magic boy.

Chorus

1. The gypsy rover came over the hill, And down thro’ the valley so shady. He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang And he won the heart of a lady. Ah dee doo, ah dee doh dah day. Ah dee doo ah dee day dee. He whistled and he sang till the green wood rang, And he won the heart of a lady.

2. She left her father’s castle gate; She left her own true lover; She left her servants and her estate To follow the gypsy rover. Ah dee doo… (Men: Whistle, Doo_______, And he won the heart of a lady)

3. Men: Her father saddled his fastest steed And roamed the valley all over. He found her at last in a mansion fine With the whistling gypsy rover.

Ladies: Oh, Oh Doo_______, With the whistling gypsy rover.

4. Ladies: “He’s no gypsy, my father,” said she, “He’s lord of freelands all over:”

All: And I will stay till my dying day With my whistling gypsy rover Ah dee doo… And he won the heart of a lady, a lady, a lady.

WALTZING MATILDA

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
Under the shade of a coolabah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited ’til his billy boiled
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”
And he sang as he watched and waited ’til his billy boiled,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”.

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”.

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
“Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag?”
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”
“Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag?”,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me”.

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
“You’ll never take me alive”, said he,
And his ghost may be heard 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 ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
“You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
“Oh, You’ll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me.”
