South Australia

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 kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia As I walked out one morning fair 'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair I sher up and I sher down I sher round and round the town I run her all night and I run her all day And I run her until we sailed away There ain't but one thing grieves me mind To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind And as we wallop around Cape Horn You'll wish to God you'd never been born In South Australia my native land Full of rocks and thieves and fleas and sand I wish I was on Australia's strand With a bottle of whiskey in my hand
