    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

    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

    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

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.

      +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.

      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.

    {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.
