[Verse]
In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, haul away,
In south Australia round Cape Horn,
Bound for South Australia.

[Chorus]
All the way and your rolling kings,
Heave away, haul away,
All the way and you'll hear me sing,
And we're bound for South Australia.

[Verse]
As I walked out one morning fair,
Heave away, haul away,
Who do I see but Nancy Blair,
Bound for South Australia.

[Chorus]
All the way and your rolling kings,
Heave away, haul away,
All the way and you'll hear me sing,
And we're bound for South Australia.

[Verse]
Just one thing won't leave my mind,
Heave away, haul away,
Leaving Miss Nancy Blair behind,
Bound for South Australia.

[Chorus]
All the way and your rolling kings,
Heave away, haul away,
All the way and you'll hear me sing,
And we're bound for South Australia.

[Verse]
As I went walloping around Cape Horn,
Heave away, haul away,
I wished to Christ I never was born,
Bound for South Australia.

[Chorus]
All the way and your rolling kings,
Heave away, haul away,
All the way and you'll hear me sing,
And we're bound for South Australia.

[Verse]
We'll do with woman now sitting on the sand,
Heave away, haul away,
Each one wished that the other was a man,
Bound for South Australia.

[Chorus]
All the way and your rolling kings,
Heave away, haul away,
All the way and you'll hear me sing,
And we're bound for South Australia.

[Chorus]
All the way and your rolling kings,
Heave away, haul away,
All the way and you'll hear me sing,
And we're bound for South Australia.
