SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Traditional Music & Lyrics
Arrangement: Heather Alexander

In South Australia I was born-
HEAVE AWAY! HAUL AWAY!
In South Australia, ‘round Cape Horn-
WE'RE BOUND FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA!

HAUL AWAY, YOU ROLLIN' KING!
HEAVE AWAY! HAUL AWAY!
HAUL AWAY, OH, HEAR ME SING
WE'RE BOUND FOR SOUTH AUSTRALIA!

And as you wallop around Cape Horn-
You’ll wish to Gods you’d never been born!

Once I was out one evening fair-
‘Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair!

I shook her up, I shook her down-
I shook her all around the town!

There’s just one thing that grieves me mind-
To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind!

Wish I was on Australia’s strand-
With a flask of brandy in me hand!

But Portland is a mighty fine town-
There’s plenty of girls to go around!
