In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
South Australia, round Cape Horn
Were bound for South Australia
Haul away you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away youll hear me say
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
