In South Australia I was born Heave away, Haul away In South Australia 'round Cape Horn We're bound for South Australia Haul away your rolling king 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 met Miss Nancy Blair We're bound for South Australia There's just one thing that's on my mind Heave away, Haul away That's leaving Nancy Blair behind We're bound for South Australia And as we wallop round Cape Horn Heave away, Haul away You'll wish to God you've never been born We're bound for South Australia
