Here we see the difference between the PHP MV-9 (flush barrel) and MV-17 (extended barrel). The barrel lengths of the MV-9 and MV-17 are 105mm (4.13 inch) and 140mm (5.51 inch) respectively. Both pistols were made more or less concurrently, though sporadically, over a three-year period during Croatia's War for Independence in the early 1990's.

 

The MV pistols borrowed freely from the designs of the Walther P-38 and the Beretta 92 series (called the M9 by the U.S. Military.)

 

Were one to field strip the MV, the Walther and the Beretta side by side, the similarities become apparent. The MV borrows the P-38's exposed barrel and slide stop and the Beretta's single recoil spring, takedown lever and high-capacity magazine. (The P-38 has twin recoil springs set into the slide rails.) Unlike either of its "parents," the MV has the safety lever mounted on the frame recessed into a cutout in the left grip panel. The safety lever does not decock the hammer.

Yesterday I took the dogs for a good hike!

The weather was great and we all enjoyed it big time!

I had to share this picture with you guy's....This is what I see, walking the dogs...

Alex never leaves first gear, and is always last...If he could talk, we would be hearing:

"I can do this....I can do this.... can do this....and this could be his tune....

Aan de boorden van de Geeuw, de eeuwenoude vaarverbinding tussen IJlst en Sneek staat de unieke houtzaagmolen "de Rat" die nog volop in produktie is. Stammen die liggen te wateren, het geluid van de draaiende wieken, het gestamp van de op en neergaande zaagramen, de geur van versgezaagd hout, hier ervaart u nog het oude houtzagersambacht zoals dat al ruim 3 eeuwen in "De Rat" dagelijks wordt uitgevoerd.

 

The edges of the yawn, the ancient connection between sailing and Sneek IJlst is unique woodcutting "the Rat" who is still in production. Strains are to water, the sound of the rotating blades, the tramping of the rocking cutting windows, the smell of freshly sawn wood, here you still experience the old sawyer craft as more than 3 centuries in "The Rat" every day.

New Year's Day, 2008.

 

My dad and I went up to Fort Mountain State Park in Georgia, while visiting family for our annual get together. We were going up to the park to do some hiking and photo shooting, but the photos weren't that great from the park. It was definitely a neat place and worth seeing, though.

 

We passed this farm on the way back to my Great Uncle's house, and I had to stop. It was just too good to pass up.

 

Unfortunately, there were powerlines in the way, and the in-camera image just didn't represent the colors and beauty I saw before me. Hours of editing lie in wait for me.

 

Had I not needed to edit this so heavily, I never would have seen the two deer that are in this image. They're so tiny, even at full resolution, I didn't even see them when I actually shot this photo.

 

See below, in the comments, for the unedited version to compare to what you see here.

This shot is looking down Corn Street and St Nicholas Market in Bristol.

 

Corn Street was the street where many merchants did business during the 1700s. They traded in cloth from India, butter, eggs and chickens from Wales, goods made from iron from the centre of England and slave produced goods from the Caribbean and North America such as sugar, tobacco, coffee and chocolate.

 

This meant more money came to Bristol and had to be administered. Loans were needed, slaving and cargo ships had to be insured, as did the sugar refineries and warehouses where fire was a constant threat. Goods had to be sold off and commission needed to be paid. In this way, financial services could be said to have been stimulated by the success of the triangular trade. By the mid-18th century, Corn Street became a focus for the city's banks, insurance offices and coffee houses.

 

St Nicholas Market is divided into three parts, Exchange Hall, Glass Arcade and Covered Market, each with a slightly different focus and is home to the largest collection of independent retailers in Bristol.

El principal responsable del proyecto de los telescopios "Magic", Florian Goebel, de 35 años y nacionalidad alemana, falleció el pasado miércoles, sobre las 23:30 horas, tras caer desde unos diez metros de altura, según informaron fuentes de la Guardia Civil y del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).

 

Al parecer, la víctima se precipitó al suelo cuando supervisaba las tareas de puesta en marcha del instrumento de observación estelar "Magic-II", situado en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, en la isla de La Palma.

 

Hacia el citado observatorio se desplazó el subdirector del IAC, Carlos Martínez, así como los responsables, por parte de dicha institución científica, del proyecto "Magic".

 

Según explicó el IAC en un comunicado, Florian Goebel era doctor en Astrofísica e investigador del Max Planck Institut für Physik de Munich, y, en el momento del accidente, se encontraba ultimando los últimos detalles del telescopio.

  

"Magic-II"

 

La colaboración "Magic", una de las instituciones usuarias del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, dispone de dos telescopios Cherenkov en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos.

 

El telescopio "Magic-II" tiene previsto triplicar los resultados científicos obtenidos por su predecesor, el "Magic-I", en la investigación de los rayos cósmicos. Asimismo, dicho instrumento está situado a unos 2.200 metros de altitud sobre el nivel del mar.

 

A tenor de la información divulgada en la jornada de ayer por el IAC, la inauguración de dicho telescopio, prevista para el próximo 19 de septiembre, fue suspendida como consecuencia del trágico suceso.

Ultima intervista a Woody Allen a Cannes

“Ve lo dico un’altra volta: non c’è felicità nella vita. Questa è sempre stata la mia prospettiva: lo penso sin da quando ero un ragazzo.

Per me la vita è un viaggio da incubo, un’esperienza molto dolorosa e non sono il primo a dirlo. Penso anche a Nietzsche, Freud o Eugene O’Neill che sostenevano la stessa cosa. Il trucco è sapere affrontare la vita mentendo spudoratamente a se stessi. Perché se si finisce col guardarla con occhi obiettivi vi rendereste conto che è intollerabile.

 

La cosa bella di questa città è che il clima è grigio e le estati sono fredde, il che può essere davvero utile per creare una fotografia unica per il film. Ma me ne starei comodamente nella mia amata New York se potessi trovare i finanziamenti per le mie storie. Girare in Europa costa molto meno, solo per questo continuo a farlo.

 

Non ci sono attori con cui aspiro tanto a lavorare, be’ mi piacerebbe dirigere Cate Blanchett o Reese Witherspoon ma non ho ancora trovato un ruolo per loro. Dipende sempre dallo script e una volta che ho creato il personaggio penso a chi posso offrirlo. Con quest’ultima pellicola sono stato molto fortunato a trovarli tutti gli attori che volevo. E tutti erano disponibili.

 

Non recito perché non trovo un ruolo adatto a me. Sono troppo vecchio e molti dei ruoli nei film che ho fatto sono sempre quelli di un romantico che riesce a conquistare la sua donna. Adesso non immaginate la frustrazione che provo quando recito insieme a Scarlett Johansson ed è un uomo più giovane ad averla!

 

Se potessi invecchiare come Manoel De Oliveira ci metterei subito la firma. Ma la mia posizione sulla morte resta sempre quella: sono profondamente contrario. E in quanto alla vecchiaia non ve la consiglio affatto! Non è che si diventa più saggi, ma è tutto un precipitare di dolore in cui ti ritrovi a vedere e sentire sempre meno e scordarti le cose in fretta.

Datemi retta, meglio essere giovani e riuscire a conquistare la vostra donna."

The Woofferton transmitting station is a shortwave broadcasting site at Woofferton, south of Ludlow, Shropshire, England.

 

The station was originally built by the BBC during World War II to house additional shortwave (HF) broadcasting transmitters. It had six 50 kW RCA transmitters, obtained by lend-lease.

 

During the Cold War, the station was equipped with six Marconi BD272 250 kW shortwave transmitters. Much of the capacity was leased by the BBC to the Voice of America (VoA) in order to enhance the latter’s coverage in the Eastern bloc. It provided a stronger shortwave broadcast signal into the Eastern Bloc than any other western shortwave broadcast transmitter during the years of Soviet jamming.

 

It was VoA’s custom to name the transmission site at the beginning of each broadcast. Visitors to this isolated rural site were amused to hear broadcasts begin with the words, “This is the Voice of America, from Woofferton”.

 

All the BBC’s transmitting facilities were privatised in the 1990s. The shortwave sites were sold to Merlin Communications, which has since been acquired by VT Group plc and trades under the name VT Communications.

 

The station currently has ten 300 kW HF transmitters.

 

It also has a 300-watt MF transmitter for BBC Hereford and Worcester.

Douz es la puerta del desierto tunecino, está situada en el extremo contrario a Tozeur del lago salado de Chott El Jerid. Pese a la creciente presencia de todoterrenos y otras máquinas, aquí el rey sigue siendo el dromedario. Hay alrededor de catorce mil en la zona, aunque tan solo doscientos Meharis, reconocibles por su color blanco, su descomunal altura, su carácter soberbio y altivo pero tremendamente fiel a su dueño. Son sin duda los dromedarios más hermosos que existen y los protagonistas de las grandes carreras que se organizan en el desierto del norte de África, incluido el mítico maratón de Douz que se celebra en invierno durante el festival del Sahara o festival del Camello.

El festival, llamado el festival del camello , se inició en 1910, cuando Túnez estaba bajo dominio francés. En 1967 adquirió su identidad moderna de acuerdo a la voluntad de H. Bourguiba , primer presidente de la nueva República de Túnez, para convertirse en el festival más antiguo y más conocido del país. M'hammed Marzougui, dedicó su vida a hacer que la gente tome conciencia y apreciar el modo de vida nómada y las tradiciones, fue el principal responsable de la fundación del festival. Desde entonces, cada año, a finales de diciembre, durante cuatro días, miles de personas, la mayoría de todo Túnez y otros países Maghrebies, acuden a Douz. Después de la ceremonia de apertura, comienzan los principales eventos en el estadio H´naiech situado frente al desierto y rodeado de tiendas beduinas. Los maratones de camellos, las galopadas de caballos árabes montados por atrevidos jinetes, las peleas de dromedarios, la celebración de matrimonios beduinos o el sloughi (caza del conejo con perros del desierto) son las principales atracciones del festival. Por la noche, los grupos de países visitantes interpretan canciones y bailes y concursos de poesía.

El milano real (Milvus milvus) es una especie de ave accipitriforme de la familia Accipitridae. Es similar en aspecto al milano negro, del que se distingue por su cabeza de color gris plateado y su silueta. Los ejemplares que anidan en el norte de Europa se desplazan al sur para invernar; algunos de ellos atraviesan el estrecho de Gibraltar hasta llegar al norte de África. Su distribución llega hasta Canarias y las islas de Cabo Verde. La población de las Islas Baleares se encuentra desde hace poco clasificada como en peligro de extinción debido al uso de venenos. Características El milano real tiene una longitud de 60 a 65 centímetros, una envergadura de alas de casi dos metros (190 centímetros) y un peso que oscila, desde los 900 gramos a los 1.200 gramos de peso. Su cola tiene una forma muy ahorquillada. Se diferencia fácilmente del milano negro, que es totalmente oscuro y tiene la cola menos ahorquillada. Alimentación Caza aves y pequeños mamíferos, como liebres o ratas, también se alimenta de pájaros e invertebrados; incluso puede devorar carroña. Anidación Suele anidar en los árboles, donde confecciona un nido a base de ramas y hojas. La puesta consiste en un número que oscila, desde un solo huevo, hasta tres; tardarán en eclosionar unos treinta y cinco días aproximadamente. El macho suele reemplazar a la hembra en la incubación por pequeños periodos de tiempo, mientras ésta se alimenta.

And the watertaxi's of Rotterdam...they are indispensable in the total image of the Harbour.... with their striking colours and design...!

This event is taken place for the thirtieth time...We have enjoyed it big time!

Tonight there will be a concert with various artists, and one of them is Gloria Estefan! We will watch that on the television with the doxies! (smile)

Enjoy your weekend!

Here's another version of the PHP (for Prvi Hrvatski Pistolj - First Croatian Pistol), the MV-9, made in the early 1990's in Croatia. The MV's are often described as a love child of a Walther P38 and a Beretta 92, as it has features of both. The barrel locking system is the tilting wedge with a "push button" used by both the Beretta and the Walther. It has the Walther's exposed barrel and the Beretta's high capacity magazine. The MV-9 seen here is somewhat shorter than the MV-17, as the muzzle is almost flush with the front of the slide.

 

In spite of the fact that it's a first attempt and that there was a particularly nasty war going on at the time, the pistol is fairly well made. It has the checkerboard Croatian crest stamped on the top of the slide, just behind the exposed portion of the barrel.

 

This one shows some use as evidenced by dings, scratches and honest wear, compared to the MV17, which came to me in nearly pristine, unissued condition.

 

The MV pistols were made by the arsenal which later became HS Arms, manufacturer of the HS2000, sold in the U. S. as the Springfield Armory XD series.

Historical plaque near the convergence of Bay Street and Davenport Road, just south of Jesse Ketchum Public School. Toronto, Canada. Summer evening, 2022. Pentax K1 II.

 

A biography of Jesse Ketchum from: www.biographi.ca/en/bio.php?id_nbr=4519

 

KETCHUM, JESSE, tanner, politician, and philanthropist; b. 31 March 1782 at Spencertown, Columbia County, N.Y., fifth son of Jesse Ketchum and Mollie Robbins; m. first Ann Love (d. 1829), by whom he had three sons and three daughters, and secondly Mary Ann Rubergall, by whom he had three children; d. 7 Sept. 1867 at Buffalo, N.Y.

 

Following the death of his mother when he was six years old, Jesse Ketchum was taken into the home of a tanner in Spencertown where he probably learned the tanning trade. Unhappy in his foster home because his efforts to attend school were frustrated, Ketchum ran away at the age of 17 to join his brother, Seneca*, who had come to Upper Canada in 1796 and was farming on Yonge St north of York (Toronto).

 

On the outbreak of the War of 1812 some recent arrivals from the United States left Upper Canada rather than serve in the militia or swear allegiance to the crown. One such individual, John Van Zandt, an American tanner at York, was obliged to dispose of his property at once, and no doubt at a sacrifice. Ketchum was the purchaser. Like other merchants, he profited greatly from the wartime demand for supplies for the troops. A shrewd businessman, Ketchum invested his profits in town property in York, and also bought and sold farms in the county of York.

 

At the beginning of the war Ketchum joined the 3rd Regiment of York militia, and was among those paroled after the capitulation of York to the Americans in 1813. Nevertheless, his loyalty came under suspicion during the brief American occupation, and he was one of those whom Attorney General John Beverley Robinson was subsequently directed to have arrested and tried if, upon inquiry, that action seemed justified. No arrest occurred, but the episode no doubt had a lasting effect upon Ketchum.

 

Ketchum was a public spirited and generous man. He subscribed to the rebuilding of the Don bridges after the war; he became a member of the Society for the Relief of Strangers in Distress (renamed the Society for the Relief of the Sick and Destitute in 1828); and he was on the board of health. After the passage in 1816 of the Common Schools Act, which provided legislative support for administrative costs but not for the erection of school buildings, Ketchum subscribed to the building fund of the first common school in York. It was completed in 1818, and he was elected by the townspeople to its board of trustees. In 1832 he provided at his own expense for an infant school for children under seven.

 

Ketchum first became opposed to the Family Compact and sympathetic to the radical party in 1820 as a result of John Strachan’s involvement with the common school of York; Strachan persuaded Lieutenant Governor Sir Peregrine Maitland* to withhold funds for the school, and, when the elected trustees resigned, was successful in replacing their choice of teacher, Thomas Appleton, with his own Anglican nominee, Joseph Spragg*. A second factor was the clergy reserves question. Although a Methodist himself, Ketchum was no narrow sectarian. He attended St James’ Anglican Church when it was the only church in York, and, with gifts of land and money, he helped to establish a Methodist chapel in 1818, as well as a secessionist Presbyterian church (later Knox Presbyterian Church) in 1820. He taught Sunday school in the Methodist church and took a keen interest in Sunday schools of all denominations. In 1823 he founded the York Sunday School Union to establish libraries for children attending these institutions. This broad-minded man was chosen chairman of a public meeting called in December 1827 to protest against Strachan’s famous “Ecclesiastical Chart” and his efforts to secure the clergy reserves wholly for the Church of England. Ketchum’s name headed the list of those from the Home District who, in 1828, petitioned for a liberalization of the charter of King’s College. In 1831 another petition was drawn up by Ketchum and Egerton Ryerson* and signed by “Friends of Religious Liberty,” asking the imperial parliament to place all denominations in the province on a footing of equality and to appropriate the clergy reserves to general education and public works.

 

By 1828 Ketchum had become well known as an opponent of the Family Compact. In that year the county of York elected him and William Lyon Mackenzie to the assembly. Ketchum held his seat until 1834, when he declined to run again, disliking the hurly-burly of politics. During these years he had so much influence with Reformers, supported them so fully, and worked so closely with Mackenzie for constitutional and other reforms that his opponents called him “King Jesse” and Mackenzie “King Jesse’s jackal.” Ketchum opposed the expulsions of Mackenzie from the assembly, did his best to have him reinstated, and in the process suffered in the York riots of 1832.

 

Ketchum’s withdrawal from political life in 1834 did not mean withdrawal from public affairs. He helped to organize the Canadian Alliance Society, founded in December 1834 to further the demand for reform, and he was an active member of the society’s vigilance committee which collected much of the material Mackenzie included in The seventh report . . . on grievances (1835). When in 1836 Sir Francis Bond Head* dismissed the Executive Council and replied rudely to delegates presenting a petition of public protest, Ketchum helped to draw up the indignant and sarcastic response of the Reformers, and he and James Lesslie* were delegated to deliver it to the lieutenant governor. Ketchum continued to hope to secure reforms by peaceful means, though talk of rebellion began in 1837. He did not attend the meeting of Reformers at John Doel*’s brewery on 31 July 1837, because he knew that Mackenzie would propose a coup d’état. He refused to sign the resulting declaration of Toronto Reformers, broke with his former political associates, and took no part in the rebellion.

 

Soon after the rebellion Ketchum, though he remained in Toronto, moved his tannery to the outskirts of Buffalo, a location which gave his business wider prospects and which provided security for his son, William, who had fled Upper Canada in the aftermath of the rebellion. Moreover, the Toronto site had now grown too valuable for use as a tannery. Ketchum invested his profits from the Buffalo tannery in nearby farm lands which, as the city expanded, became very valuable. He had many interests to keep him in Toronto, including large real estate activities. In 1845, however, he decided to turn over his property in Toronto to the children of his first marriage and, with his second family, move to Buffalo where his extensive real estate developments now required his presence.

 

In Ketchum Toronto lost a generous citizen who had given building lots to his employees and who, before leaving for Buffalo, secured employment for them. He was vice-president of the York Temperance Society, founded in 1830, and built two halls for the society’s meetings. He was a founder of the Upper Canada Bible Society in 1828, and of the Upper Canada Tract Society established in 1832. He also endowed these societies with funds to enable them to present prize books annually to school children and to the Sunday schools. He was a founder, in 1830, of the Home District Savings Bank which served the town’s working class, and two years later helped to organize the York Mechanics’ Institute. In Buffalo Ketchum continued his benevolences to churches, schools, and temperance societies and he made annual gifts of books to the school children. He died in 1867. On the day of his funeral the schools of the city were closed in his honour.

In this piece I wanted to concentrate on the period performer and remove all the 21st century details from the shot so they wouldn't distract from the period look. Was aiming at a Victorian oil painting look for this one. I moved the flag over as I wanted to keep the union jack in the shot, and also masked the playset in the background by cutting and pasting in an extra shrub.

 

I may come back to this one. The performer is looking at something and I'm tempted to put something there, as well as spruce up the area, perhaps putting in a traditional English garden (roses, foxgloves, etc.).

 

In reality I think the performer was looking at me out of the corner of her eye. I'm certain she noticed me when I turned and raised the camera as she stopped and held pose as I took these shots. I have such a big lens it's hard to miss, don't ya know. ;-) I wanted to ask her to pose for a few more shots, but I'm kind of shy and have to build up my nerve about these things, so first I went down the side of the mill to get some side shots of the building. I arrived late to Dickinson Days so unfortunately by the time I got back she'd left for the day! Oh well, perhaps next year.

 

In the meantime I'm thinking I'll contact Watson's Mill about these shots so the performers can see them and get copies. Everyone there was very friendly and professional, as you can see here. Would love to give them something back for their volunteering to work the festival.

The Transfiguration Chapel

 

Rising tall and majestic in the highest point of Caleruega is the Transfiguration Chapel. From here one can behold the expanse of Caleruega and witness the glorious opus of radiant nature – a symphony of sky, trees, and the distant hills of Batulao. Like St. Peter during Jesus’ transfiguration, anyone who experiences such splendor of nature’s poetry will declare: Lord, it is good for us to be here… (Mt.17:4).

 

The chapel itself is replete with symbolism. Its façade is a reproduction of the original chapel in Caleruega, Spain. Its hut-shaped roof is in remembrance of the temporary sheds that the apostles wanted to build for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah during the transfiguration (Mt 17:1-8). The seal of the Dominican Province of the Philippines is depicted in stained glass in the upper portion of the chapel’s façade. The seven grapevines entwined in the steel doors of the chapel not only portray Jesus as the vine and we as branches (John 15:5), but also symbolize the seven sacraments. The main altar is a carved tree trunk representing the “stem of Jesse,” mentioned in the Book of the Prophet Isaiah: then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit (Is 11:1). The tabernacle is a gentle reminder of the burning bush through which God revealed Himself to Moses in Mt. Sinai (Ex 3:2). The birds carved on the communion table are representations of God’s providence in Matthew 6:26: Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap…and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. The stained glass depicts the Transfiguration of Jesus witnessed by Peter, John, and Luke. With Jesus are Moses and Elijah, two significant instruments of God in the Old Testament (Mat 17:3).

Né à Zurich en 1910, mort à Paris en 1999, Rolf Liebermann fut l’une des personnalités musicales majeures du XXe siècle. Compositeur, chef d’orchestre, metteur en scène, il dirigea successivement les Opéras de Hambourg (1959-1972) et de Paris (1973-1980). Au Palais Garnier, son nom est attaché, entre autres, aux Noces de Figaro dans la mise en scène de Giorgio Strehler (production reprise cette saison) ou à la création mondiale de la version en trois actes de Lulu dirigée par Pierre Boulez.

 

A l’occasion du centenaire de sa naissance, le Staatsoper de Hambourg s’associe à la Bibliothèque-Musée de l’Opéra et à l’Opéra de Paris pour rendre hommage à cette personnalité d’exception.

Paris Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, that is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment Corp.. As its name suggests, its theme is the city of Paris in France; it includes a half scale, 541-foot-tall replica of the Eiffel Tower, a sign in the shape of the Montgolfier balloon, a two-thirds size Arc de Triomphe, a replica of La Fontaine des Mers, and a 1,200-seat theatre called Le Théâtre des Arts. The front of the hotel suggests the Paris Opera House and the Louvre.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and found this tree decorated with black birds. I took the picture with iPhone but it was a rather poor quality... so this is an Alien Skin painting in heavy pastel.

 

Sorry my friends for my long absence but between taking care of my mom's broken foot and also starting my new photography company--setting up a new website with flash... will give link once it exists--I have limited time resources... only 24 hours in a day. =)

 

I will visit your pictures as often as I can.

 

Kisses and hugs to everyone!!

Tomorrow (Monday, November 30, 2009), is the second anniversay of my dad's passing. I decided to honor him a litte bit over the next few months by fixing up and sharing some photos of his extremely interesting life.

 

For sixteen years, my dad was the lead Weather Wizard for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. There was a reason for that. The pilots loved flying with him because, as they said, he could "see" the wind.

 

I think this photo is from the 1996 Balloon Fiesta, the 25th Anniversary year.

 

This image was scanned from a photo (probably fuji-iso200 and processed at Walmart) I took with our shared, heavily used--over three decades--Minolta X-9.

Background desaturated in PSE6.

Wasted and wounded, it aint what the moon did, Ive got what I paid for now

See you tomorrow, hey frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you

To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

Im an innocent victim of a blinded alley

And Im tired of all these soldiers here

No one speaks english, and everythings broken, and my stacys are soaking wet

To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cabs parking

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'd bury the dagger

In your silhouette window light go

To go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

Now I lost my saint christopher now that I've kissed her

And the one-armed bandit knows

And the maverick chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,

And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go

Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

Youll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say

That the streets aren't for dreaming now

And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,

They want a piece of the action anyhow

Go waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,

And the old men in wheelchairs know

And mathilda is the defendant, she has killed about a hundred,

And she follows wherever you may go

Waltzing mathilda, waltzing mathilda,

You'll go waltzing mathilda with me

 

And its a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,

And a wound that will never heal

No prima donna, the perfume is on an

Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey

And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers

And goodnight to mathilda, too
