Waltzing Matilda

A.B. (Banjo) Paterson wrote:... Up rode the Trooper - one, two, three
"Where's that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me".

But the swagman he up and jumped in the water hole
Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree,
And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

AKITA -- A man who fled from police after an apparent robbery jumped into the sea and drowned, officers said on Friday.

A patrolling officer heard the sound of a window being smashed at a seaside office in Hachimori, Akita Prefecture, at about 9 p.m. on Thursday and started a search of the area.

The officer found a man hiding between rocks and the nearby sea. When the officer approached him for questioning, the man ran and abruptly jumped into the sea ...


And his ghost may be heard as it sings in Hachimori,
"Fu wiru kamu a warusingu matiruda wisu mi?"

:wink:
