[Verse 1]
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia

[Chorus]
Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

[Verse 2]
As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia

[Chorus]
Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

[Verse 3]
There's just one thing that's on my mind
Heave away, haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

[Verse 4]
And as we wallop 'round Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You'll wish to God you've never been born
We're bound for South Australia

[Chorus]
Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

[Verse 5]
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia

[Chorus]
Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
