In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, haul away,
In South Australia, round Cape Horn,
Bound for South Australia.

Chorus:
Heave away you rolling kings,
Heave away, haul away,
Heave away, oh hear me sing,
Bound for South Australia.

When I sailed across the sea,
Heave away, haul away,
My girl said she'd be true to me,
Bound for South Australia.

Chorus

When we lolloped round Cape Horn,
Heave away, haul away,
You'd wish to God you'd never been born
Bound for South Australia.

Chorus

Wish I was on Australia's Strand,
Heave away, haul away,
With a glass of whisky in my hand,
Bound for South Australia.

Chorus

In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, haul away,
In South Australia, round Cape Horn,
Bound for South Australia.
