South Australia Songtext
von Trail West

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

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your 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 fare
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We′re bound for South Australia


Haul away your 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 your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We′re bound for South Australia

I run her all night, I run her all day
Heave away, haul away
I run her until we sailed away
We′re bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We′re bound for South Australia


There's just one thing that grieves my mind
Heave away, Haul away
That′s leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your 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'll wish to God you′d never been born
We′re bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We′re bound for South Australia

In South Australia, my native land
Heave away, haul away
Full of rocks and thieves and fleas and sand
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you′ll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

I wish I was on Australia′s strand
Heave away, haul away
With a bottle of whisky in my hand
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We′re bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you′ll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
