Lyrics

In South Australia I was born
--heave away, haul away--
In South Australia round Cape Horn
--We're bound for South Australia--

[chorus]
Haul away you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away

[verse]
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair

I shook her up and I shook her down
I shook her round and round the town

There ain't but one thing grieves me mind
To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind

And as we wallop around Cape Horn
You'll wish to God you'd never been born
