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 oh hear me sing We're bound for South Australia As I walked out one morning fair 'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair I shook her up, I shook her down I shook her round and round the town There ain't but one thing grieves my mind To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind And as we wallop around Cape Horn You'll wish to God you'd never been born
