Sea Shanty – South Australia – Johnny Collins – Lyrics

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
South Australia is my home
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

Now as I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
‘Twas there I met miss Nancy Blair
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

I shook her up, I shook her down
Heave away, haul away
I shook her round and round the town
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

There’s just one thing that grieves my mind
Heave away, haul away
That’s leaving Nancy Blair behind
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

And when we’re walloping off Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You’d wish to God you’d never been born
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

I wish I was on Australia’s strand
Heave away, haul away
With a bottle of whiskey in me hand
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
