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 King,
Heave away, haul away,
Haul away, now hear me sing,
We're bound for South Australia
As I walked out one mornin' fair,
Heave away, haul away,
It was there I met Miss Nancy Blair,
We're bound for South Australia
There ain't but one thing grieves my mind,
Heave away, haul away,
It's to leave Miss Nancy Blair behind,
We're bound for South Australia
(Chorus)
And as we wallop 'round Cape Horn,
Heave away, haul away,
You'll wish to Christ you'd never been born,
We're bound for South Australia,
Up the coast to Vallipo,
Heave away, haul away,
Northward on to Callyo
We're bound for South Australia
(Chorus)
It's back again to Liverpool,
Heave away, haul away,
I spent my pay like a bloody fool,
We're bound for South Australia,
I'm Aussie born but Liverpool bred,
Heave away, haul away,
Long in the arm, but thick in the head,
We're bound for South Australia
(Chorus)
Oh rock and roll me over boys,
Heave away, haul away,
Let's get this damn job over boys,
We're bound for South Australia
(Chorus)
