In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away
In South Australia, ’round Cape Horn, we’re bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king, heave away, haul away
Haul away, you’ll hear me sing, 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

In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away
In South Australia, ’round Cape Horn, we’re bound for South Australia
