The most beautifully moving and poignant version of this song I have ever heard ... R.I.P. Al Swearingen.

RIP Bazz Kerrigan...Wild RP community will never forget you.

As an Aussie seeing Al and Jewel sing this made my fucking day. Cherry on the sundae.

Great rendition especially as it relates to the end of the Deadwood movie story.

What a fitting way to end this brilliant series.

That half step vibrato bit at 1:09 is heartbreakingly beautiful

"Our Father, which art in heaven..." "... Let Him fucking stay there."

I have watched this movie three times already this weekend. This scene is just so damn heart wrenching every time. Never have i contemplated death and finality so acutely as with each viewing of this movie.

The show shouldn't have been cancelled. But it was. A fourth season isn't going to right the wrong that was made back then, it would be gratuitous and obnoxious. They'll never have a better ending than the one we just got. Let's just be glad we got it and let the great show that it was rest in peace.

A season 4 or 5 wouldn't have given us Al's death in any case. The real Al died in 1904.

I want this arrangement so bad

This song was also impactful in the 1959 classic film "On the Beach". It was about the aftereffects of nuclear war & starred Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire & Anthony Perkins. It aired on tv in the 60's when I was a little girl & being the thoughtful, sensitive child I was, it horrified me. I don't even remember exactly how "Waltzing Matilda" was used in it but it has haunted me to this day. I was aware even then that it's Australian (I'm American), it's beautiful & was important to the Australian people even before that film. When I watched the "Deadwood " movie, it moved me with it's sadness & beauty all over again.💙🇦🇺🇺🇸💙 Btw, for any serious movie buffs out there, "On the Beach" is worth watching. There are no zombies, no blood & gore. Only a serious, heartbreaking drama about what real people might face after a realistically possible apocalypse.

I strongly suggest you youtube "ON THE BEACH ARMAND ASSANTE." The movie was remade in 2000. The acting is as supurb as the 1959 movie. Assante plays Peck's oart.

@@dpetrano I wasn't even aware of the remake. I've always liked Armand Assante & I remember Rachel Ward & Bryan Brown from "The Thorn Birds" (I just Wiki'd the cast & basic info). I might watch it this weekend. Or I might get the 1959 original through Netflix (I get dvds via mail, not streaming) & rewatch it first. But either way I'm going to watch the remake soon. Thank you SO much for recommending it. I had no idea it even existed.💙 Btw, when I checked Netflix to see if either was available through them (the original is, but not the remake) I read a couple of viewers comments. Someone remembered that when the original came out during the Cold War, one reviewer had said it was the film that might've saved the world. It frightened people & made them think about the reality & aftereffects of nuclear war. And I wonder if, when President Kennedy faced the Cuban Missile Crisis just 3 years later, if he had seen it. He liked movies & probably had. Who knows, possibly even Khrushchev had seen it. It may have had more impact than we realize. Thanks again for your informative reply. Oh, and that's a beautiful horse in your profile pic. If it's yours, you're lucky!💙

@@deborahcornell171 We can thank Charles Chaplin as controlling stockholder of United Artists, for the original 1959 release, b/c he was the ONLY person in the industry w/ the money and power to get this incredible film made. This movie could not have been made in the USA, or by any of the other movie production companies b/c it dared to reveal the truth about the senselessness of nuclear war. As you recall, J. Edgar Hoover deported Charles Chaplin as being a "communist sympathizer." Chaplin was forced to spend the rest of his life outside the USA for making this movie and others that Hoover rejected.

An exquisite arrangement.

Well worth the wait on an awesome ending.

I don't care if this song was originally written about the Galgamek's quest for recognition beyond their home galaxy...it was just perfect for the farewell to Deadwood.

1899 I think..also, Charlie Utter died in Panama, if I remember correctly...and Al died years later of either a mishap or foul play...depending on who you ask.. But, in my opinion, all of these changes embodied the spirit of the show.. and it was all the better for them.

I recently read that David Milch is in the last stages of Alzheimer's disease. Apparently he had it while he was working on the movie.... I sincerely hope that someone plays this song for him.

the song likely was around in some form or fashion for years before that. It just probably never formally got written until 1895 Or we could just say it's a movie set in a historical timeline that has already taken several creative liberties. Either way, it's a beautiful rendition and it capped off the series beautifully.

EB was left out from the whole brilliant ending. 😢

Let him fucking stay there

"Let him...fucking...stay there"

Love the song, though Anachronistic 😩

As an Australian I found the use of 'Waltzing Matilda' in 'Deadwood: The Movie' to be completely baffling. Not only is this song iconically Australian (hell, it's basically our unofficial National Anthem) and the lyrics full of Australian slang. It also wasn't even written by Banjo Patterson until 1895, which Deadwood is set well before. I honestly can't understand why this song would have been chosen over an American folk song of that era.

Al does say in Season 2 Episode 12 "My inferno was Australia. Wasted two years that was." So he has visited, I'll give you that. Leaving only the timeline to be off, which is fine. I do still however find it funny that Jewell and Al decide to sing a song in his dying moments that he picked up during his wasted two years in Australia. 😃
