Take an old time trope, mix it with a lick of swing, a mournful guitar and whole lot of love and longing, and you have an instant Australian classic sad country song: Sweet Mathilda Waltz. Time for a new anthem for a new Australia.
lyrics
Sweet Mathilda Waltz
123 123 123
123 123 123
Waltz me round again
You know that I'm a drifter, tonight could be the end
Sweet Mathilda, run you round again
Mathilda, turn me down again
You know I had it coming, when we lost it on that bender
Sweet Mathilda, waltz me round again
Mathilda, down again
Mathilda, Mathilda, waltz me round again
123 123 123
Spin me out again
But you won't see me coming when it's time to start again
Sweet Mathilda take my hand again
be my baby, be my baby again
You know there's bad times coming, we both could use a friend
Sweet Mathilda waltz me round again
Mathilda, waltz me round again
Waltz me round again
123 123 123
123 123 123
