Biography:
A popular and long-running Canadian-Irish folk group that saw their beginning in the 1960s, The Irish Rovers are particularly well-known for their hit recording of Shel Silverstein's "The Unicorn," although a great many more of their characteristically happy and oft-comical songs remain well-known to this day. In 2010, the band celebrated 45 years as recording artists, with their latest CD, "Gracehill Fair" and filming the DVD/television special "Home in Ireland", shot entirely on-location, throughout the northwest coast of Ireland.

Once a Jolly swagman, camped a by a billabong

you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
[Chorus]

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
