In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, Haul away!
In South Australia, round Cape Horn,
bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
Now as I went out one morning fair,
Heave away, Haul away!
'twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair,
bound for South Australia!
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
I shook her up, I shook her down,
Heave away, Haul away!
I shook her up and down the town!
Bound for South Australia!
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
There's one thing that does grieve my mind,
Heave away, Haul away!
It's leaving Nancy Blair behind,
we're bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
And as we wallup around Cape Horn,
Heave away, Haul away!
You wish to God you'd never been born!
bound for South Australia!
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rollin' king!
Heave away, Haul away!
Haul away, Oh hear me sing!
We're bound for South Australia
