In 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
You'll wish to God you've never been born
We're bound for South Australia

Heave away, haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia
