South Australia (2)

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia, round Cape Horn
Bound for South Australia

Heave away you ruler kings
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, you’ll hear me sing:
“We’re bound for South Australia”

There’s one thing there that grieves me mind
Heave away, haul away
To leave miss Nancy Blair behind
Bound for South Australia

Heave away you ruler kings
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, you’ll hear me sing:
“We’re bound for South Australia”

I’ll tell you the truth and I’ll tell you no lie
Heave away, haul away
I’ll love that girl until I die
Bound for South Australia

Heave away you ruler kings
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, you’ll hear me sing:
“We’re bound for South Australia”

And as I sail around Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
I wish to god I’d never been born
Bound for South Australia

Heave away you ruler kings
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, you’ll hear me sing:
“We’re bound for South Australia”

And now I’m on a foreign strand
Heave away, haul away
With a bottle of whiskey in me hand
Bound for South Australia

Heave away you ruler kings
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, you’ll hear me sing:
“We’re bound for South Australia”

I’ll drink one glass to the foreign shore
Heave away, haul away
And one to the girl that I adore
Bound for South Australia

Heave away you ruler kings
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, you’ll hear me sing:
“We’re bound for South Australia”

Now fare thee well and fare thee well
Heave away, haul away
For sweet news to my girl I’ll tell
Bound for South Australia

Heave away you ruler kings
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, you’ll hear me sing:
“We’re bound for South Australia”
