South Australia
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
South Australia 'round cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia
Chorus;
Haul away you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away and you'll hear me sing
And we're bound for South Australia
As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
Oh I changed to meet with Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia
Well I shook her up and I shook her down
Heave away, haul away
I danced her round and round the town
We're bound for South Australia
There ain't one king but grieves my mind
Heave away, haul away
Is to leave sweet Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia
I wish I was on some lonesome strand
Heave away, haul away
With rum and whiskey all in my hand
We're bound for South Australia
Two old woman sleepin' on the sand
Heave away, haul away
Each one wishing that the other was a man
And we're bound for South Australia
As we warped around the cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
Oh you wish to Christ you never was born
We're bound for South Australia
