Lyrics: [Verse 1] In South Australia I was born Heave away, haul away South Australia is my home We're bound for South Australia [Chorus] Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia [Verse 2] Now as I walked out one morning fair Heave away, haul away 'Twas there I met miss Nancy Blair We're bound for South Australia [Chorus] Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia [Verse 3] I shook her up, I shook her down Heave away, haul away I shook her round and round the town We're bound for South Australia [Chorus] Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia [Verse 4] There's just one thing that grieves my mind Heave away, haul away That's leaving Nancy Blair behind We're bound for South Australia [Chorus] Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia [Verse 5] And when we're walloping off Cape Horn Heave away, haul away You'd wish to God you'd never been born We're bound for South Australia [Chorus] Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia [Verse 6] I wish I was on Australia's strand Heave away, haul away With a bottle of whiskey in me hand We're bound for South Australia [Chorus] Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia
Dude. Me and my homies got so drunk one night and passed out with his phone on playing music on YT. I wake up at like 3am and this is what i hear on blast, everybody else laying face down😂. Today i had like an epiphany and somehow remembered it and bam im here lmao this is great
just been strolling around Muttly Plain for the first time in years. All the history that place has seen! All the lives of ordinary people that made it.
heres my own composition - raw australian colonial song - if you dig it-feel free to leave me a comment - cheers from melbourne - by a first fleet convict descendant ! th-cam.com/video/wIqPi_qyiow/w-d-xo.html
I love this song. The beginning when he says "South Australia is my home" gets me every time. That feeling of returning home after a long journey, and longing for home during that journey.
This was my grandads favourite song and when I was little on the way home from school we would sing this (me my sister and my grandad). He’s sadly now passed🤍 This song is going to be at my wedding when I’m older, I won’t tell anyone it’s going to be a big surprise. We were so close🤍
I first met Johnny Collins when he was a sergeant radiographer in the the British Military Hospital Singapore in 1969. He also ran the Anophel Inn Folk Club where he and “Mac” were head and shoulders above the rest of us would be folk singers. He later headlined a folk evening that I organised in the crypt at the Royal College Greenwich
Thank you Assassins creed for helping bring Sea Shanties In to the 21st century and the new generation. I really want to see an increase in this type of music maybe some modern shanties could be interesting.
xFATMAN192x Problem is, physical group work is no longer as prevalent as it used to be 150-200 years ago. Doesn't mean it wouldn't work, there's just no longer a need to coordinate through musical rythm
+xFATMAN192x I don't think Assassins creed brought sea shanties into the 21st century at all, for example I have been listening to shanties since before assassins creed 4 was out and a lot of the people I know have. I also STRONGLY disagree with modern shanties, I think I if I heard a auto-tuned terrible voice singing about sailing with a synthesizer in the background I would go drown myself in a toilet. I am already ashamed enough by modern country music.
Yes I know this has nothing to do with the Irish. Point is, is that the only place where proper folk song sing alongs are the norm is there. Irish folk songs are similar to these Shanties. I'm not even Irish. No one's claiming this is Irish
I recently found out my grandfather made the trip from London to Port Adelaide on the Northern Monarch clipper ship in 1876 id like to think at some point in the voyage this song was sung And over 100 years later its still around for those who decents whos family had migrated all those years ago.
Mine was doing a similar run at the same time. I still have his log. He went on to Calcutta before his home run. Voyage included death, mutiny, murder and imposition of discipline upon crew and passengers by bare fists etc. Weather caused dismantling and captain and himself both being washed overboard and returned on the reflux in his case twice. Watches lasted twenty four hours on occasion weather so bad in Indian Ocean. It was always considered bad luck by the old shell backs to sing shanties on shore what they would sing were forebitters the recreational songs of loss, hope and aspiration. These did not have the syncopated work rhythms of shanties. Incidentally, shanties were never sung by the R N who hauled to the count of two six. G. Luff
@widhbnw efDwdwDW i think they're getting at the fact that australians might feel a connection to this song as it's about australia, and the anglos and irish both have a history of sea shanties making the essence of this type of music nostalgic to them
Love it, gives you a good knees up kind of feeling, where you feel you could do better for yourself amongst the lads and amongst a greater kind of pride
My teacher sings this to us in class with his guitar. He sings it a little faster like at speed 1.25 but all of my classmates love the song and know it by heart.
I was born in South Australia but still don't know the history of this song. (I'm descended for Irish folk (Maguires) that received a free trip out here several generations ago and would like to know the origins of this song). My mother was baron in Gawler SA and so was her father.
I volunteer on a horse farm, and it takes a LOT of hose to reach all the water tanks. When I have to coil it all up, this chantey is just the right rhythm. When I want to take it slow, I use "General Taylor."
Just looked up General Taylor on this here youtube and the version I came across sounds like it was sung by English folk singers rather than Americans. Not bad as far as English folk goes.
I once boarded an old round-bottomed cargo ship for a school trip. The crew taught us this song as we pulled ropes for various things. Fun times! Heve away haul away!
1.25 speed - old men belting out a jaunty tune, sober as a sword. 1.00 speed - old men singing tunes of their youth, a little melancholic. .75 speed - old men have now had a few drinks. .50 speed - of the 13 old men in the reunion, 3 are still conscious, but only barely. .25 speed - only one left not passed out, but he's fading FAST.
RIP Johnny Collins. And to all the AC4 Smelly Pirate Hookers this sea song is not a Caribbean pirate sea shanty but a traditional sea song sang by sailors on the voyage from England to Australia in the 1900's. No sorry they are not Pirates but yes its the best sea song ever made and nobody does it better than old Johnny
@Brantius Riximium He is not unwelcome to anyone , he is Just giving additional information about the shanty and i bet that most fans are eager to learn more about these songs and their orogins. Also a hipster would probably listen to trap "music".
@Brantius Riximium well if he should be welcome then he is not welcome...it is common sense mate. As for the smelly and so , i do not think he said it in a bad manner rather speaking in a way that pirate enthusiasts would like.
@Brantius Riximium My english is fine alright, but you sir have an aggressive attitude, i recommend you keep that on check. I also recommend that you read my answers more carefully. From the very beginning i have understood that you said that he he should be welcoming them and not be welcome himself. And as i said he is not unwelcome towards them.
@Brantius Riximium Indeed i forgot the -ing which alters the meaning of the word but still any competent reader would understand what i meant to say. Even if you did not you should have by my next answers. I am not trying to worm anything out, i simply am honest. If that is so you probably have some anger issues which again, i recommend you address as they can erode the social bonds with your close people.
Port adelaide was one of the main whaling and trade points in the world,. The maritime history is rich in South Australia, when im in the boat fishing occasionally i will pop this on,
But you can still go sailing :) There are alot of sailing ships you can travel with :) like the beatiful Christian Radich from Norway :) They sailed the atlantic last winter :) It was MAGNIFICENT :)
Christopher Dvergsdal not o not the Christian Radich is available for those kind of sailing trips. The Statsraad Lehmkul is also a very beautiful ship too sail with. She's also from Norway a good country too.
+teutonalex That's so cool! I sang it on a tall ship, too, whose name escapes me at the moment. And, yes, we were pulling on the main downhaul. Ha! That makes me happy. People forget that some sea shanties are working songs, to get everybody haul on the sheets or do whatever efficiently, everybody in the same tempo. So many performers sing this song way too fast and lose the whole purpose of the song.
+Agent Black Rat I did a few stint aboard her in 2004,5 and 2007. And you are right, this is the correct speed in which to sing it. Many of the available version are too fast. This is the right haul yard rhythm.
{Verse 1} In South Australia I was born Heave away, haul away South Australia is my home We're bound for South Australia {Chorus} Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia {Verse 2} Now as I walked out one morning fair Heave away, haul away 'Twas there I met miss Nancy Blair We're bound for South Australia {Chorus} Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia {Verse 3} I shook her up, I shook her down Heave away, haul away I shook her round and round the town We're bound for South Australia {Chorus} Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia {Verse 4} There's just one thing that grieves my mind Heave away, haul away That's leaving Nancy Blair behind We're bound for South Australia {Chorus} Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia {Verse 5} And when we're walloping off Cape Horn Heave away, haul away You'd wish to God you'd never been born We're bound for South Australia {Chorus} Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia {Verse 6} I wish I was on Australia's strand Heave away, haul away With a bottle of whiskey in me hand We're bound for South Australia {Chorus} Haul away, you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia
I remember singing this at school when I did a couple of weeks of year 7 in South Australia before going back to NSW, I honestly thought it was their state anthem. I thought they were saying heathen kings, not rolling kings.
Best version is by the Dubliners, sung by Barney McKenna, a real Sailor and Fisherman who brings heart, soul and fun in that Shanty, including the fiddle of John Sheahan...
What other platforms is this song on? I like Kimber’s Men’s rendition of this song, but this is better imo. However, I can’t find it on Spotify or anywhere else on TH-cam for that matter. Is this the only publication of this song?

I enjoyed it then and now.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
South Australia is my home
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
To me heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Verse 2]
Now as I walked out one morning fair
Heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met miss Nancy Blair
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
To me heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Verse 3]
I shook her up, I shook her down
Heave away, haul away
I shook her round and round the town
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
To me heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Verse 4]
There's just one thing that grieves my mind
Heave away, haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
To me heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Verse 5]
And when we're walloping off Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You'd wish to God you'd never been born
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
To me heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
[Verse 6]
I wish I was on Australia's strand
Heave away, haul away
With a bottle of whiskey in me hand
We're bound for South Australia
[Chorus]
Haul away, you rolling kings
To me heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
