Redgum - 100 Years On Lyrics

Send "100 Years On" ringtone to your cell

He came in from melbourne on a pioneer

Adelaide morning warm and clear

And a past that wasn't quite

Within the law

And he opened yet another ten dollar room

To a broken blind and a rising gloom

And a threadbare cotton carpet

On the floor

And the musac piping through the corridor

Played that song he heard before

It went :-

Who'll come a-waltzing matilda with me?

A suitcase held with rope and twine

Cleaner's shirt and an open mind

A trail of debts

To mark where he had been

A million miles of racetracks

And torn tickets on the ground

And his only son cut down in phnom penh green

Police car crawled down coogie street

As he looked for some place cheap to eat

It was just another

Curb's eye interview

With a warrant out in adeliade

For a bad decision that he once made

An instinct took his tongue

And pulled him through

So he left his hotel room that night

In time to make a midnight flight

With an overloaded truckie

Going east

And the line ran round inside his head

Was it something that his best friend said

"who'll come a-waltzing matilda with me?"

A billabong's just a grubby pond

That's busy washing ore

The squatter drives a thoroughbred steel

And if he runs forever

Will his life be all in vain?

At least that's how it makes him feel

And the truckie pushed a casette in

As they rumbled through the grampians

It played who'll come a-waltzing matilda with me?

Waltzing matilda

Waltzing matilda

Who'll come a-waltzing matilda with me?

Waltzing matilda

Waltzing matilda

Who'll come a-waltzing matilda with me?

And the truckie pushed a casette in

As they rumbled through the grampians

It played who'll come a-waltzing matilda with me?
