South Australia

In South Australia I was born!

Heave away! Haul away!
 South Australia round Cape Horn!
We're bound for South Australia!

Chorus:

Heave away, you rolling king,
Heave away! Haul away!
All the way you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia!

As I walked out one morning fair,

Heave away! Haul away!
It's there I met Miss Nancy Blair.

We're bound for South Australia!
Chorus:

I shook her up, I shook her down…
I shook her round and round the town...
Chorus:

There ain't but one thing grieves my mind…
It's to leave Miss Nancy Blair behind…
Chorus:

 And as you wallop round Cape Horn…
You'll wish to Christ you'd never been born…
Chorus:

 Up the coast to Vallipo…
Northward on to Callao…

Chorus:

It's back again to Liverpool…
I spent me pay like a bloody fool…
Chorus:

 
I'm Liverpool born and Liverpool bred…
Long in the arm and thick in the head…
Chorus:

Oh, rock and roll me over boys…
Let's get this damn job over boys…

Chorus:
