Including "Waltzing Matilda" as a waltz is akin to saying "Stars and Stripes Forever" is a waltz.

I hear you Al, and recognize the humor in "only".    Speaking about  
jazz waltzes, Some that are/were played as  jazz, or some that were  
written as jazz are: (There are a lot more in the "Real Book" <grin>)

Waltz for Debby
Lover
Take Me Out To The Ball Game
Jitterbug Waltz (Fats Waller)
The Waltz You Saved For Me.
Waltzing Matilda
Greensleeves
Over The Waves
Jazz Waltz
Let Me Call You Sweetheart
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
My Favorite Things
All Blues
Someday My Prince Will Come
West Coast Blues
