1.^BbWasted and wounded,
it ^Fain`t what a moon did.
^Gm7I got what I paid ^C7for now.
^FI see you ^Bb tomorrow,
Hey, ^FFrank, can I borrow
a ^G9couple of bucks from ^C7you to go
CHORUS:
^FWaltzing Matil^Gm7da, ^Fwaltzing Matil^Bbda, ^Fyou`ll go waltzing Matil^G7da with me.
2. I`m an innocent victim
of a blinded alley,
and I`m tired of all these soldiers here.
And no one speaks English,
and ev`rything`s broken,
and my Staceys are soaking wet, but who`ll go
CHORUS:
3. Now dogs are barkin`
at taxicabs parkin`,
a lot they can do for me.
I begged you to stab me,
you tore my shirt open,
and I`m down on my knees tonight.
Old Bushmills, I staggered,
you bury the dagger.
Your silhouette window light to go
CHORUS:
4. Now I`ve lost my Sint Christopher,
now that I`ve kissed her.
And the one-armed bandit knows.
And the maverick China man,
and the cold blooded signs,
and the girls down by the striptease shows go
CHORUS:
5. No, I don`t want your sympathy,
the fugitiv say,
that the streets aren`t for dreamin` now.
Manslaughter dragnets,
and the ghosts that sell memories,
they want a piece of the action anyhow go
CHORUS:

6. And you can ask any sailor,
and the keys from a jailer,
and the old men in wheelchairs know.
That Matilda`s the defendant,
and she killed about a hundred,
and she follows you wherever you may go
CHORUS:
7. And it`s a battered old suitcase,
to a hotel someplace,
and a wound that will never heal.

No prima donna,
the perfume is on an old ^Gm7shirt
that is ^C7stained with ^Fblood and ^Gm7whiskey.
^F7And good ^Bbnight to the street sweepers,
the ^Fnight watchman, flame keepers,
and good ^Gm7night Ma^C7tilda, ^Ftoo.
