South Australia

In South Australia, I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia, ‘round Cape Horn
Bound for South Australia

 

[chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We’re bound for South Australia

 

As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We’re bound for South Australia

 

[chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
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 
I shook her round and round the town
We’re bound for South Australia

 

[chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We’re bound for South Australia

 

I run her all night and I run her all day
Heave away, haul away
And I run her until we sailed away
We’re bound for South Australia

 

[chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
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 to God you'd never been born
We’re bound for South Australia

 

[chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We’re bound for South Australia

 

In South Australia, my native land
Heave away, haul away
Full of rocks and thieves and fleas and sand
We’re bound for South Australia

 

[chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We’re bound for South Australia

 

[chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We’re bound for South Australia
