In South Australia I was born
(Heave away, haul away)
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn
(We're bound for South Australia)
And it is (haul away your rolling king)
(Heave away, haul away)
(Haul away, you'll hear me sing)
(We're bound for South Australia)
As I walked out a morning fair
(Heave away, haul away)
'Twas then that I met Miss Nancy Blair
(We're bound for South Australia)
And it is (haul away your rolling king)
(Heave away, haul away)
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
(We're bound for South Australia)
I shook her up and I shook her down
(Heave away, haul away)
And we danced 'round and 'round the town
(We're bound for South Australia)
And it is (haul away your rolling king)
(Heave away, haul away)
(Haul away, you'll hear me sing)
(We're bound for South Australia)
There's just one thing grieves my mind
(Heave away, haul away)
That's to leave Miss Nancy Blair behind
(We're bound for South Australia)
And it is (haul away your rolling king)
(Heave away, haul away)
(Haul away, you'll hear me sing)
(We're bound for South Australia)
Well I wish I was on a lonesome strand
(Heave away, haul away)
With a bottle of beer in my hand
(We're bound for South Australia)
And it is (haul away your rolling king)
(Heave away, haul away)
(Haul away, you'll hear me sing)
(We're bound for South Australia)
And as we wallop around Cape Horn
(Heave away, haul away)
You'll wish for Christ you've never been born
(We're bound for South Australia)
And it is (haul away your rolling king)
(Heave away, haul away)
(Haul away, you'll hear me sing)
(We're bound for South Australia)
'Tis in South Australia I was born
(Heave away, haul away)
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn
(We're bound for South Australia)
And it is (haul away your rolling king)
(Heave away, haul away)
(Haul away, you'll hear me sing)
(We're bound for South Australia)
And it is (haul away your rolling king)
(Heave away, haul away)
(Haul away, you'll hear me sing)
(We're bound for South Australia)
