South Australia arranged by Lizzy Hardingham

 

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

Twas there I met mid Nancy Blair, and we’re bound for south Australia

​

And if there's one thing on my mind, heave away haul away

It's leaving Nancy Blair behind, and we’re bound for south Australia

​

In south Australia I was born heave away haul away, 

In south Australia round cape horn and we're bound for south Australia

​

I tell the truth I'll tell no lie, heave away haul away

If I don't marry her, I'll die, and we’re bound for south Australia

​

Now as my wife stands on the quay, heave away haul away

The tears begin as she waves at me, and we’re bound for South Australia

​

In south Australia I was born heave away haul away, 

In south Australia round cape horn and we're bound for south Australia

​

I'll drink one for the foreign shore, heave away haul away

And I'll drink one for the girl I adore, and we’re bound for south Australia

​

Now as we wallop round cape horn, heave away haul away

I wish to God if never been born, and we’re bound for south Australia

​

In south Australia I was born heave away haul away, 

In south Australia round cape horn and we're bound for south Australia

In south Australia I was born heave away haul away, 

In south Australia round cape horn and we're bound for south Australia
