That's a song from my childhood. As a Canadian kid in the 50's, the teacher taught us that song in 2nd or 3rd grade. She also explained what all the lyrics meant. Then in 1986, my newly-wed husband and I met an Aussie couple and the lady's mum in a Washingtons state campground. They were making tea in a billy over their camp fire - like the one hanging over the fire in this song. When the water boiled and the gal added the loose tea leaves, she picked up the billy by its handle and swung it back and forth a couple times to get up to speed, then swung it round in several complete circles. That settles the tea leaves, you see. It's one of my favorite memories.

I had a friend who was a survivor of a Japanese war camp in Manila. She was an Australian fan (and snake) dancer who, while being ushered to the safe side of town remembered the Christmas cake that her mother had sent her and went all the way back to retrieve it. She did. At every roadblock they’d ask her what country she was from, and she didn’t lie. Her Australian accent made them all think she was saying Austrian and they let her through. Except that LAST checkpoint: the soldier there had experience with Aussies and arrested her. She was in for two years. (Pretty expensive Christmas cake don’t you think?)

This was my Grandad's favourite song And when it was his birthday coming up I went and learnt this whole song and how to play it on guitar. So me and my mum drove up to his house and we said happy birthday and asked him to sit on the couch And I proceed to play this song He cried with tears of joy and I'll never forget that Usually it's the granddad trying to make the kids smile and have a good time But he was very old and I loved hanging out with him and hearing his stories and eating some kangaroo Sausages together Every year at the 7th of June I play this song again to remember him and wish him a happy birthday even if he isn't around anymore I miss you GrandDad I hope you and Max and Nanna are happy wherever you are Really wish I could've met Nanna

It's actually the official song of the US Marins 1st Division. Around the time of the US marines victories at Guadalcanal and Cape Gloucester the only respite the marines were given was in Sydney. The combination of that relief and the heroes welcome these men were given as the saviors of Australia, cemented Australia in the minds of those involved in the pacific campaign. The countries even experienced a sort of population swap with many people marrying and immigrating to each others respective countries.

I had three uncles fought in the Pacific in the Marine Corp in WWII with the 1st Marine Division. Two were on Guadalcanal. When the Marines were finally taken off the island they were sick, starved and shell shocked from the on going bloody fight for the island. They were taken to Australia and billeted in a stadium from which they escaped into town. The Australians healed them, cared for them and gave them life and hope. My uncles always had a warm spot in their hearts for Australia. I believe that is why when the 1st Marine Division ships out to this day they sing their Division's song "Waltzing Matilda."

@@josephahner3031 in Australia's defense we have had quite the military history. First there is Galipoli a British fuck up where ANZACs where slaughtered. Then there was the western front. Where Diggers came about. After that there was WWII. Where Australian soldiers were once again Britians foward force expected to be smashed in North Africa but instead gave the Italians a number if losses. Then the a mostly Asutrlaian garrison held Torbruk against the Germans. After this the US entered the war and this bombing of Pearl Harbor happened. Also a massive Pacific campaign by the IJA was started where a number of islands were occupied by the seemingly unstoppable IJA. Until Kokoda Track and Papa New Guinea. Where a grip of prodomantly drafted reserves with little training held off the IJN. This was followed by the battle of the Coral sea. After this the US Marines realized they should learn how to fight in jungles, so they turn to the Australians. For the remainder of the war Aus played a auxiliary both theaters. Going into Vietnam, Australia had similar problems to the US, an incredibly unpopular war, army with questionable morale, ect. But then there was the Battle of Long Fan where 108 members of 6RAR held out against an estimated 1500-2500 Viet Cong and NVA soldiers for roughly a day in the bush. Since the Vietnam war Australia has seen action in the Gulf war, East Timor, and Iraq/Afghanistan. But even with all these victories they lose to a flock of fucking emus. We all have our weakness I suppose.

This is the song of the First Marine Division. The Aussies took us in when we went to war in the Pacific. God bless Australia.

A little known fact: This tune was adopted as the USMC's 1st Marine Division March. After It's campaign in the Solomon Islands in 1942, the division, was redeployed to Australia for a well deserved rest and refit. Australia welcomed them with open arms and at the time were seen as the saviors of the nation. The division adopted this folk song as a tribute.

My Uncle Teddy was a sailor during WWII and he served aboard the USS Block Island, which was torpedoed. (He survived.) Although I do not know all of his service, I do know that, at one point in time, he served alongside Aussies. To my delight, as a kid, he would sing “Waltzing Matilda”, for us....a song he learned from the Aussie Comrades he was so fond of. Such a great tune and the words were so “mysterious” to this young girl in New York. I just love hearing this song and this rendition is my favorite version because it brings back memories of campfires and barbeques, corn roasts and being with my Uncle Teddy, my Grandparents, parents, cousins....all of us together....enjoying the Blessings he and my Dad, (WWII Army) fought for....(PS....love Judith Durham’s version too)

I found this song on a whim around 1½ years ago and I instantly fell in love with it and I wanted to show my Dad this video so I could find some middle ground in our relationship. For context: Me and my Dad never really had too close of a relationship due to our opposite viewpoints and whatnot. For example: I grew up in the city, he grew up in the country. I grew up in the 2000s, he grew up in the 1970s. Along a list of other personal things I'd rather not share all willy-nilly online. So I think "Hey! Why dont I show him some sort of Country-folk song from before the 2000s." I will never forget the happiness that filled his face when I pressed play, and to be honest, I was surprised that he even knew Waltzing Matilda too! Apparently my Grandpa used to play it on his old acoustic guitar. It really helped up bond, we went from basically never getting along to enjoying our company more and more.

Div. was formed on 1 February, 1941 and saw its first actions on Guadalcanal and Tulagi. Our insignia includes the constellation Southern Cross and our March (official song) is Waltzing Matilda. Proud to be one of "The Old Breed".

Why is that some singers voices fit perfectly with a song. This man is fantastic. I have loved Waltzing Matilda since I first heard it probably 60 some years ago as a teenager in the states.

This is a great song and it truly represents Australia, god bless Australia from the mother country 🇬🇧

The first time I ever heard Slim was on Armed Forces Korea Radio during a 1996 training stint in ROK. I've been collecting and enjoying his music ever since.

I'm a turkish guy and I've got no relations with Australia at all. But I believe that music is international and you can share the same feelings no matter which country or which culture you belong to. It's a gift of humanity and this song also proves how beautiful music can be. Much love from Turkey🇹🇷🇭🇲

The cries of the emus can still be heard today.

The song is about a craftsman on his traditional journey (Waltz) for at least 3 years and 1 day. It is an old germanic tradition that is still practiced in german speaking Europe but got forgotten on the British isles, just the term "journeyman" stayed. This tradition is almost a1000 years old, where young craftsman , such as carpenters, joiners, Stone masons etc. Go on a journey after their 3 years of apprenticeship. For at least 3 years and 1 day they are not allowed to come closer to their homes than 30 miles. During this time, they have to travel to work and work to travel. No bus no train, just your feet and your thumbs. No phone and no contact to home. They have to wear the traditional garbs of their trait. The title of the song "Waltzing Matilda" is actually "Rottwelsch" the language of this traveling folk and means "wandering the roads" Matilda is the slang word for Road in Rottwelsch which is a mix between Yiddish, Gypsy language and old german thug slang. A saying under those journey man is "The journeyman love Matilda and Matilda loves the journeyman" This tradition was also practiced in Australia but got forgotten. Just this song is left. IF you want to learn more about it, here is a Video of a journeyman in english: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jH-h0qOfqanVqLQ.html

Slim dusty the only person able to tell everybody to sing even tho he sitting at the campfire by himself

The U.S. First Marine Division official march is "Waltzing Matilda", borrowed from the Australian's in salute and thanks for their invaluable aid and assistance and as comrades-in-arms during WW2.

I'm Irish, music in me heart this is good stuff

My childhood right here

Slim Dusty's earlier recording of this song when he was a young man is excellent. But this recording he made as an old man is even better! He makes up for having a less strong and resonant young voice by putting more passion and expression into each line. What a terrific singer. Thank you, Slim Dusty.

My grandfather used to sing one of the psalms during a passover seder to this tune. He had a german british american upbringing. After 22 years of hearing this tune once a year for the psalm at a seder, i finally decided a few years ago to listen to it. Love the tune, but these words are foreign to me as an american
