South Australia (Live)

In South Australia I was born
Heave away! Haul away!
In South Australia ‘round Cape Horn
And we’re bound for South Australia

So haul away your rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, haul away and you’ll hear me sing
And we’re bound for South Australia

Well, I walked outside one morning fair
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, chanced to meet with Nancy Blair
And we’re bound for South Australia

So haul away your rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, haul away and you’ll hear me sing
And we’re bound for South Australia

Well, I shook her up and I shook her down
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, I danced her ‘round and ‘round the town
And we’re bound for South Australia

So haul away your rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, haul away and you’ll hear me sing
And we’re bound for South Australia

Oh, I wish I was on a lonesome strand
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, with rum and whiskey all in hand
And we’re bound for South Australia

So haul away your rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, haul away and you’ll hear me sing
And we’re bound for South Australia

Oh, two old women lying on the sand
Heave away! Haul away!
Each one wishing that the other was a man
And we’re bound for South Australia

So haul away your rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, haul away and you’ll hear me sing
And we’re bound for South Australia

And as we wallop around Cape Horn
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, you’ll wish to Christ you’ve never been born
And we’re bound for South Australia

So haul away your rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, haul away and you’ll hear me sing
And we’re bound for South Australia

Oh, South Australia is a bloody fine place
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, to get blind drunk is no disgrace!
And we’re bound for South Australia

So haul away your rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh haul away and you’ll hear me sing
And we’re bound for South Australia

So haul away your rolling king
Heave away! Haul away!
Oh, haul away and you’ll hear me sing
And we’re bound for South Australia!
