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

D G D
Haul away your rolling king
G D G D
Heave away, Haul away
D A D
Haul away oh hear me sing
D A D
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

There's just one thing that's on my mind
Heave away, Haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia

And as we wallop round Cape Horn
Heave away, Haul away
You'll wish to God you've never been born
We're bound for South Australia
