96 - South Australia

In South Australia I was born
(To me) heave away, haul away
In South Australia round Cape Horn
We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling Kings
(To me) heave away, haul away
Haul away, you’ll hear me sing
We’re bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair
(To me) heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met miss Nancy Blair
We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling Kings…

She shook me up and I shook her down
(To me) heave away, haul away
We shook around and round the town
We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling Kings…

We run all night and we run all day
(To me) heave away, haul away
We ran until I sailed away
We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling Kings…

There ain’t but one thing grieves me mind
(To me) heave away, haul away
To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind
We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling Kings…

As we wallop 'round Cape Horn
(To me) heave away, haul away
You’ll wish to god you’d never been born
We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling Kings…

I wish I was on Australia’s strand
(To me) heave away, haul away
With a bottle of whiskey in my hand
We’re bound for South Australia
