Heave away you rollin' cane
Heave away; haul away
Heave her up now hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

In South Australia I was born
Heave away; haul away
South Australia 'round cape horn
We're bound for South Australia

So it's heave away you rollin' cane
Heave away; haul away
Heave 'er up now hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

You know them gals in old Brisbane
Heave away; haul away
They can drive a man insane
But they will never fail ya

So it's heave away you rollin' cane
Heave away; haul away
Heave 'er up now hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

(banjo and guitar instrumental break)

We're sailin' south by east, my dear
Heave away; haul away
They'll never find us there; don't fear
A letter I'll mail ya

So it's heave away you rollin' cane
Heave away; haul away
Heave 'er up now hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

We're bound for South Australia
