South Australia

n South Australia I was bornTo me heave away, haul awayIn South Australia round Cape HornChorusWe're bound for South AustraliaHaul away you rolling kingsTo me heave away, haul awayHaul away, you'll hear me singWe're bound for South Australia2. As I walked out one morning fairTo me heave away, haul away'Twas there I met Miss Nancy BlairChorus:3. I shook her up and I shook her downTo me heave away, haul awayI shook her round and round the townChorus:4. I run her all night and I run her all dayTo me heave away, haul awayAnd I run her until we sailed awayChorus:5. There ain't but one thing grieves me mindTo me heave away, haul awayTo leave Miss Nancy Blair behindChorus:6. And as we wallop around Cape HornTo me heave away, haul awayYou'll wish to God you'd never been bornChorus:7. In South Australia my native landTo me heave away, haul awayFull of rocks and thieves and fleas and sandChorus:8. I wish I was on Australia's strandTo me heave away, haul awayWith a bottle of whiskey in my hand
