 +===== South Australia =====
 +
 +In South Australia I was born
 +//Heave away, haul away//
 +In South Australia round Cape Horn
 +//We're bound for South Australia//
 +
 +**Chorus:**
 +//Haul away you rolling kings
 +To me heave away, haul away
 +All the way, you'll hear me sing
 +We're bound for South Australia//
 +
 +As I walked out one morning fair...
 +'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair...
 +
 +I shook her up, I shook her down...
 +I shook her round and round the town...
 +
 +I run her all night and I run her all day...
 +And I run her until we sailed away...
 +
 +There ain't but one thing grieves me mind...
 +To leave Miss Nancy Blair('s) behind...
 +
 +And as we wallop around Cape Horn...
 +You'll wish to God you'd never been born...
 +
 +In South Australia my native land...
 +Full of rocks and thieves and fleas and sand...
 +
 +I wish I was on Australia's strand...
 +With a bottle of whiskey in my hand...
