The Secret History Of The Mongols

If The Secret History is what you're after, Waley only gives extracts. As he says himself, "Of The Secret History, I have translated only the parts founded on story-teller's tales." Whatever he means by that, it's loose translation, story-style. He says he doesn't believe in its historical value, so you won't get the text as document here.
There are other texts - mostly Chinese, but also Ainu - and essays. I like the little piece 'Blake the Taoist'.
