South Australia

(Traditional)

Key of D

In south Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In south Australia around Cape Horn
I'm bound for South Australia

Chorus:
Haul away you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away you'll hear me sing
I'm bound for south Australia

As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
I chanced to meet miss Nancy Blair
I'm bound for south Australia

I shook her up, I shook her down
Heave away, haul away
I shook round and round the town
And I'm bound for south Australia

There ain't but one thing grieves my mind
Heave away, haul away
To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind
I'm bound for south Australia

And as we wallop round Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You'll wish to God you'd never been born
I'm bound for south Australia

In south Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In south Australia round Cape Horn
I'm bound for south Australia
