In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, haul away,
In South Australia round Cape Horn
We’re bound for South Australia.
Chorus:
Haul away, you rolling kings,
Heave away, haul away,
Haul away, you'll hear me sing,
We are bound for South Australia.
As I walked out one morning fair,
Heave away, haul away,
’t was there I met Miss Nancy Blair.
We’re bound for South Australia.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
O when I sail across the sea,
Heave away, haul away,
My girl says she’d be true to me.
We’re bound for South Australia.
Chorus
I rung her all night, rung all day,
Heave away, haul away,
I rung her 'fore we sailed away.
We’re bound for South Australia.
Chorus
I shook her up, I shook her down,
Heave away, haul away,
I shook her round and round the town.
We’re bound for South Australia.
Chorus
Oh, when we wallop around Cape Horn,
Heave away, haul away,
You’ll wish to God you’d never been born.
We’re bound for South Australia.
Chorus
I wish I was on Australia strand,
Heave away, haul away,
With a glass of whiskey in my hand.
We’re bound for South Australia.
