A.B.'Banjo' Paterson wrote the poem Waltzing Matilda as a poem, not a song. The identity of the composer of the tune is uncertain, but this much is known: it was set to a catchy tune which a friend of Paterson's had heard at the Warrnambool races. The poem and song was first performed on 6 April 1895 at the North Gregory Hotel in Winton, Queensland.
