South Australia	[print]
(Trad)

In South Australia I was born Heave away, haul away In South Australia, round Cape Horn Bound for South Australia Heave away you ruler kings Heave away, haul away Heave away, you'll hear me sing: "We're bound for South Australia" There's one thing there that grieves me mind Heave away, haul away To leave miss Nancy Blair behind Bound for South Australia Heave away you ruler kings Heave away, haul away Heave away, you'll hear me sing: "We're bound for South Australia" I'll tell you the truth and I'll tell you no lie Heave away, haul away I'll love that girl until I die Bound for South Australia Heave away you ruler kings Heave away, haul away Heave away, you'll hear me sing: "We're bound for South Australia" And as I sail around Cape Horn Heave away, haul away I wish to god I'd never been born Bound for South Australia Heave away you ruler kings Heave away, haul away Heave away, you'll hear me sing: "We're bound for South Australia" And now I'm on a foreign strand Heave away, haul away With a bottle of whiskey in me hand Bound for South Australia Heave away you ruler kings Heave away, haul away Heave away, you'll hear me sing: "We're bound for South Australia" I'll drink one glass to the foreign shore Heave away, haul away And one to the girl that I adore Bound for South Australia Heave away you ruler kings Heave away, haul away Heave away, you'll hear me sing: "We're bound for South Australia" Now fare thee well and fare thee well Heave away, haul away For sweet news to my girl I'll tell Bound for South Australia Heave away you ruler kings Heave away, haul away Heave away, you'll hear me sing: "We're bound for South Australia"
