South Australia

Lyrics courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com
Capstan shanty  

In South Australia I was born

To me heave away, haul away

In South Australia round Cape Horn

CHORUS after each verse:

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

To me heave away, haul away '

Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair

I shook her up and I shook her down

To me heave away, haul away

I shook her round and round the town

I run her all night and I run her all day

To me heave away, haul away

And I run her until we sailed away

There ain't but one thing grieves me mind

To me heave away, haul away

To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind

And as we wallop around Cape Horn

To me heave away, haul away

You'll wish to God you'd never been born In South

Australia my native land

To me heave away, haul away

Full of rocks and thieves and fleas and sand

I wish I was on Australia's strand

To me heave away, haul away

With a bottle of whiskey in my hand
