In South Australia I was born Heave away, haul away
South Australia I was born We're bound for South Australia
All the way up, rolling cane Heave away, haul away
All the way up, hear me sing We're bound for South Australia
As I went out one morning fair Heave away, haul away
But there I met Miss Nancy Blair We're bound for South Australia
All the way up, rolling cane Heave away, haul away
All the way up, 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 about the town We're bound for South Australia
All the way up, rolling cane Heave away, haul away
All the way up, hear me sing We're bound for South Australia
There was much want increase me mind Heave away, haul away
But to me Miss Nancy Blair behind We're bound for South Australia
All the way up, rolling cane Heave away, haul away
All the way up, hear me sing We're bound for South Australia
As we went down round Cape Horn Heave away, haul away
No wish to God, yet never been born We're bound for South Australia
All the way up, rolling cane Heave away, haul away
All the way up, hear me sing We're bound for South Australia
In South Australia I was born Heave away, haul away
South Australia round Cape Horn We're bound for South Australia
All the way up, rolling cane Heave away, haul away
All the way up, hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
