South Australia
Hymnal Index | Ship's Company Website
In South Australia I was born!
Heave away! Haul away!
South Australia round Cape Horn!
We're bound for South Australia!
CHORUS:
Haul away you rollin' kings
T'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,
It's there I met Miss Nancy Blair.
I shook her up, I shook her down,
I shook her round and round the town.
There ain't but one thing grieves my mind,
It's to leave Miss Nancy Blair behind.
And as you wallop round Cape Horn,
You'll wish to Christ you'd never been born!
In South Australia Skylab fell
Fifteen Billion, Shot to hell!
Oh, rock and roll me over boys,
Let's get this damn job over boys.
