Speedy Justice - Waltzing Matilda Lyrics

Once she'd escaped from the foster system broken down
The streets of DC were a haven of rest
Her baggage was heavy yet she never had owned anything
She'd been deprived of everything else
I took her in like a friend with no strings to pull
Her smile gave me just what a empty man needs
I taught her to learn my mum mum's old accordion
So she'd play waltzing Matilda for me
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
She'd play the waltzing Matilda for me
When the sky went black I'd take out her accordion
She'd play waltzing Matilda for me
The years went by she tried so hard to run away
She made it to Brooklyn and Chesapeake bay
I'd bide my time reclaim it from the pawning shop
So she'd return to play old Matilda for me
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
She'd play the waltzing Matilda for me
When the sun went black I'd hand her that accordion
She'd play waltzing Matilda for me
Some man made her sick no telling who it really was
So she up and died like a rose in the night
And each dark night I picture petals drifting down
Then dream of her bloom to awake stark light
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
She'd play the waltzing Matilda for me
When the sky went black I'd unlock the accordion
She'd play waltzing Matilda for me
