South Australia - The Dubliners

In South Australia I was born

Well, heave away, haul away

In South Australia round Cape Horn

We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king

Well, heave away, haul away

Haul away, oh hear me sing

We’re bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair

Well, heave away, haul away

't was there I met Miss Nancy Blair

We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king

Well, heave away, haul away

Haul away, oh hear me sing

We’re bound for South Australia

There ain’t but one thing grieves my mind

Well, heave away, haul away

To leave Miss Nancy Blair’s behind

We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king

Well, heave away, haul away

Haul away, oh hear me sing

We’re bound for South Australia

O when I sail across the sea

Well, heave away, haul away

My girl says she’d be true to me

We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king

Well, heave away, haul away

Haul away, oh hear me sing

We’re bound for South Australia

I rung her all night, I rung her all day

Well, heave away, haul away

I rung her before we sailed away

We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king

Well, heave away, haul away

Haul away, oh hear me sing

We’re bound for South Australia

I shook her up, I shook her down

Well, heave away, haul away

I shook her round and round and round

We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king

Well, heave away, haul away

Haul away, oh hear me sing

We’re bound for South Australia

Oh, when we wallop around Cape Horn

Well, heave away, haul away

You’ll wish to God you’d never been born

We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king

Well, heave away, haul away

Haul away, oh hear me sing

We’re bound for South Australia

I wish I was on Australia strand

Well, heave away, haul away

With a glass of whiskey in my hand

We’re bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king

Well, heave away, haul away

Haul away, oh hear me sing

We’re bound for South Australia
