Lyrics varies a little between different recordings
Matilda, Matilda, Matilda,
She take me money and run Venezuela.
Everybody ! Matilda, Matilda, Matilda
She take me money and run Venezuela.
Five hundred dollars, friends, I lost
Woman even sell me cart and horse
Hey, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Everybody ! Matilda, Matilda, Matilda
She take me money and run Venezuela.
Well, de money was to buy me house and land
Then she got a serious plan
Hey, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Everybody ! Matilda, Matilda, Matilda
She take me money and run Venezuela.
Well, the money was just inside me bed
Stuck up in a pillow beneath me head
Don't you know Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Everybody ! Matilda, Matilda, Matilda
She take me money and run Venezuela.
Well, me friends, never to love again
All me money gone in vain!
Hey, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Everybody ! Matilda, Matilda, Matilda
She take me money and run Venezuela.
