Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Yeah, haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Verse 2]
As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
Let's play
[Verse 4]
And as we wallop around Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You'll wish to God you'd never been born
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Verse 5]
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
