In South Australia I was born
1) In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia, ‘round Cape Horn,
And we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus:
Haul away your rolling king,
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you’ll hear me sing,
we’re bound for South Australia
2) As I walked out one morning fair, heave away, haul away
It’s there I met Miss Nancy Blair, and we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus:
3) There’s just one thing that’s on my mind, heave away, haul away
That’s leaving Nancy Blair behind, and we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus:
4) I run her all night and I run her all day, heave away, haul away
And I run her until we sailed away and we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus:
5) I shook her up and I shook her down, heave away, haul away
I shook her round and round the town and we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus:
6) And as we wallop round Cape Horn, heave away, haul away
You’ll wish to God you’ve never been born, and we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus:
7) I wish I was on Australia’s strand, heave away, haul away
With a bottle of whiskey in my hand and we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus:
8) In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away
In South Australia, ‘round Cape Horn, and we’re bound for South Australia
Chorus:
