Whose is the jumbuck you've got in the tucker-bag?

From Saltbush Bill, J. P. by Paterson, A. B. (Andrew Barton)

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water-hole, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him in glee; And he sang as he put him away in his tucker-bag, "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me!"
