The Dubliners - South Australia lyrics

In South Australia I was born To me heave away, haul away In South Australia round Cape Horn [Chorus] 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 As I walked out one morning fair To me heave away, haul away 'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair Chorus: I shook her up and I shook her down To me heave away, haul away I shook her round and round the town [Chorus] I run her all night and I run her all day To me heave away, haul away And I run her until we sailed away Chorus: There ain't but one thing grieves me mind To me heave away, haul away To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind Chorus: And as we wallop around Cape Horn To me heave away, haul away You'll wish to God you'd never been born Chorus: In South Australia my native land To me heave away, haul away Full of rocks and thieves and fleas and sand [Chorus] I wish I was on Australia's strand To me heave away, haul away With a bottle of whiskey in my hand [Chorus]
