South Australia Lyrics

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

I shook her up, I shook her down
Heave away, haul away
I shook her up 'round and 'round the town.
We're bound for South Australia

There's just one thing that's on my mind
Heave away, haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're 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
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia 'round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

As I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

I shook her up, I shook her down
Heave away, haul away
I shook her up 'round and 'round the town.
We're bound for South Australia

There's just one thing that's on my mind
Heave away, haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're 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
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away your rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away oh hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
