In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I saw Miss Nancy bare
We're bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rolling kings...
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
Haul away, you rolling kings...
There ain't but one thing grieves my mind
Heave away, haul away
To leave Miss Nancy's bare behind
We're bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rolling kings...
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
Haul away, you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
