In South Australia I was born

Heave away, haul away

South Australia, round Cape Horn

Were bound for South Australia

If there's just one thing that grieves my mind

To leave Miss Nancy Blairs behind

Oh when we wallop round Cape Horn

You'll wish to God youd never been born

I wish I was in Australia's strand

A glass of whiskey in my hand

Port Adelaide's a grand old town

There's plenty of girls to go around

South Australias my native land

Full of flies and fleas and sand

When I first shipped out to sea

My girl said shed be true to me

South Australias got great waves

Great white sharks and surfer babes

Hamlet's uncle's got him down

Married his mom and stole his crown
