South Australia (Original Mix)

South Australia - Ewan MacColl

In South Australia I was born

Heave away haul away

In South Australia round cape horn

We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling kings

Heave away haul away

Haul away oh hear me sing

We're bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair

Heave away haul away

There I met Miss Nancy Blair

We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king

Heave away haul away

Haul away you'll hear me sing

We're bound for South Australia

There ain't but one thing grieves me mind

Heave away haul away

To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind

We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling kings

Heave away haul away

Haul away oh hear me sing

We're bound for South Australia

I run her all night I run her all day

Heave away haul away

I run her pay for we sailed away

We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling kings

Heave away haul away

Haul away oh hear me sing

We're bound for South Australia

I shook her up I shook her down

Heave away haul away

I shook her round and round the rown

We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling kings

Heave away haul away

Haul away oh hear me sing

We're bound for South Australia

How when we wallop around Cape Horn

Heave away haul away

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

We're bound for South Australia

Haul away you rolling kings

Heave away haul away

Haul away oh hear me sing

We're bound for South Australia
