Haul away your rolling king, heave away, haul away

Haul away, youll hear me sing, were bound for South Australia



As I walked out one morning fair, heave away, haul away

'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair, were bound for South Australia



There's just one thing that's on my mind, heave away, haul away

That's leaving Nancy Blair behind, were bound for South Australia



And as we wallop round Cape Horn, heave away, haul away

You'll wish to God you've never been born, were bound for South Australia



In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away
