[Verse 1]
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
South Australia 'round Cape Horn
Bound for South Australia

[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
Bound for South Australia

[Verse 2]
There's just one thing that grieves my mind
Heave away, haul away
To leave me box of toys behind
Bound for South Australia

[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
Bound for South Australia

[Verse 3]
The wind was cold, the rain was wet
Heave away, haul away
I'll make a trip I won't forget
Bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
Bound for South Australia

[Verse 4]
I jumped right up, I jumped right down
Heave away, haul away
I jumped all around that crazy town
Bound for South Australia

[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
Bound for South Australia
