In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, haul away;
In South Australia around Cape Horn,
We're bound for South Australia.
Haul away, you rolling king,
Heave away, haul away;
Haul away, oh, hear me sing,
We're bound for South Australia.
Ah, I went out one morning fair,
Heave away, haul away;
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair,
We're bound for South Australia.
Haul away, you rolling king,
Heave away, haul away;
Haul away, oh, hear me sing,
We're bound for South Australia.
I shook her up, and I shook her down,
Heave away, haul away;
I shook her 'round and 'round the town,
We're bound for South Australia.
Haul away, you rolling king,
Heave away, haul away;
Haul away, oh, hear me sing,
We're bound for South Australia.
Well there ain't but one thing grieves my mind,
Heave away, haul away;
To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind,
We're bound for South Australia.
Haul away, you rolling king,
Heave away, haul away;
Haul away, oh, hear me sing,
We're bound for South Australia.
And as you're walloping 'round Cape Horn,
Heave away, haul away;
You'll wish to Christ that you'd never been born,
We're bound for South Australia.
Haul away, you rolling king,
Heave away, haul away;
Haul away, oh, hear me sing,
We're bound for South Australia.
Haul away, you rolling king,
Heave away, haul away;
Haul away, oh, hear me sing,
We're bound for South Australia.
