South Australia Lyrics

In South Australia I was born
Heave away. Haul away!
South Australia round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia
Haul away you rolling king
To me heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear us sing
We're bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away! Haul away!
'Twas then I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling king
To me heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear us sing
We're bound for South Australia

I shook her up I shook her down
Heave away! Haul away!
I shook her round all around the town
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling king
To me heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear us sing
We're bound for South Australia
The only thing that grieves me mind
Heave away! Haul away!
Is leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling king
To me heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear us sing
We're bound for South Australia

Wish I was on Australia's strand
Heave away! Haul away!
With a bottle of whiskey in my hand
We're bound for South Australia
Haul away you rolling king
To me heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear us sing
We're bound for South Australia

As you go wolloping round Cape Horn
Heave away! Haul away!
You'll wish to god you'd never been born
And we're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling king
To me heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear us sing
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling king
To me heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear us sing
We're bound for South Australia
