Bound for South Australia
Sea Shanty
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,
Heave away, now hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia!
There ain't but one thing grieves my mind
Heave away, haul away,
To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia.
(Chorus)
Oh when I sailed across the sea
Heave away, haul away,
My girl said she'd be true to me
We're bound for South Australia.
(Chorus)
And as we wallop around Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You wish to God you'd never been born
We're bound for South Australia.
(Chorus)
