lyrics

South Australia

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, Haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
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

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, Haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

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

I run her all night and I run her all day
And I run her until we sailed away

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

In South Australia A far away land
Full of rocks and thieves and sand

I wish I was on Australia's strand
With a bottle of finest rum in me hand

There's just one thing that's on my mind
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
