In South Australia, I was born; HEAVE AWAY, HAUL AWAY. In South Australia 'round Cape Horn. AND WE'RE BOUND FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA. CHORUS: Heave away, you ruler kings, heave away, haul away; Haul away O hear me sing, and we're bound for South Australia. As I went out one morning fair; It was there I met Miss Nancy Blair. (chorus) She shook me up, she shook me down; She shook me 'round and 'round the town. (chorus) There ain't but one thing grieves my mind; To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind. (chorus) And as we wallop 'round Cape Horn; You'd wish to God you'd never been born. (chorus) Now my story here is told; We're sailing Cape bound and awful bold. (chorus)
