In South Australia I was born
(Heave away, haul away)
South Australia, 'round Cape Horn
(We're bound for South Australia)

Haul away a rolling king
(Heave away, haul away)
Haul away, oh hear me sing
(We're bound for South Australia)

As I went out one morning fair
(Heave away, haul away)
Was there I met Miss Nancy Blair
(We're bound for South Australia)

Haul away a rolling king
(Heave away, haul away)
Haul away, 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 about the town
(We're bound for South Australia)

Haul away a rolling king
(Heave away, haul away)
Haul away, oh hear me sing
(We're bound for South Australia)
There was but onе thing creased me mind
(Hеave away, haul away)
Must leave Miss Nancy Blair behind
(We're bound for South Australia)

Haul away a rolling king
(Heave away, haul away)
Haul away, oh hear me sing
(We're bound for South Australia)

As we went down 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 a rolling king
(Heave away, haul away)
Haul away, oh hear me sing
(We're bound for South Australia)

In South Australia I was born
