(C) In South Australia I was born,
(G7)Heave away, haul away
(C) South Australia, (G7)round (C) Cape Horn,
Bound for South Au(G7)stra(C)lia.

(C) Heave away you rolling kings,
(G7) Heave away, haul away
(C) Heave away, oh (F)hear me (F#dim)sing,
(C) Bound for South Au(G7)stra(C)lia! (F) (C G7 C)

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 wished 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 whiskey 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.
