In south Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In south Australia, round Cape Horn
We're bound for south Australia

Haul away, you 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
Was there I met miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for south Australia

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing:
"We're bound for south Australia"

I shook her up, I shook her down
Heave away, haul away
I shook her round and round the town
We're bound for south Australia

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing:
"We're bound for south Australia"

There ain't but one thing grieves me mind
Heave away, haul away
To leave miss Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for south Australia

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing:
"We're bound for south Australia"

And as we wallop around Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You wish to God you never been born
We're bound for south Australia

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing:
"We're bound for south Australia"

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing:
"We're bound for south Australia"
