My grandma gave me an autoharp for Christmas. This is so pretty!

Thanks. There are some banjo tunes "out there" that really play well on the autoharp. I highly recommend giving them a try on autoharp.

Nice, but as it's called a folk song, there must be lyrics, and I was waiting to hear them...

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under the shade of a coolibah tree And he sang as he watched and waited til' his billy boiled "Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?" Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?" And he sang as he watched and waited til' his billy boiled "Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?" Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" Up rode a squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred Down came the troopers one, two, three "Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in you tucker bag?" "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" "Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in you tucker bag?" "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong "You'll never catch me alive!!" said he And his ghost maybe heard as you pass by that billabong "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" And his ghost maybe heard as you pass by that billabong "Youll come a watzing matilda with me!"

When I perform this song on autoharp at festivals here in the US, I do sing the lyrics but I first always give some of the word definitions to the audience as many of the words are unknown to many Americans.

Thanks. I've put both albums online and anyone is free to download them from this link: tinyurl.com/2szhh9ua Eventually I will replace them at this link with higher quality recordings when I take the original master tapes from the studios where they were recorded and have better digital copies make of all the songs.

One thing my language teacher had us do is to translate a spng from our mother language to russian. We had to perform it with kareoke but there is none for this song. Thanks for this as i recited paddys lamentation in russian to this video. God bless america and ireland. As for russia, there will be peace and the war will soon be over. May a free country arise from devastation.

@charleswhitmerautoharp 9 ай бұрын
These 2 tunes do sound so similar that it probably isn't a coincidence. In the American Old Time genre there was a lot of borrowing from other traditions and it wouldn't be a surprise if the Old Time fiddlers borrowed this tune from the Bluebell Polka you mentioned. There was frequently a lot of "cross pollination" between different music traditions.
