In South Australia I was born
Heave away! Haul away!
South Australia round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia!

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia!

As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away! Haul away!
It's there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia!

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia!

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 king
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia!

There ain't but one thing grieves me mind
Heave away! Haul away!
To leave miss Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia!

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia!

I'm Bristol born and Bristol bred
Heave away! Haul away!
I'm thick in the arm and thick in the head
We're bound for South Australia!

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia!

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way, oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia!
