To me heave away, haul away

Haul away nowyou rolling kings
To me heave away, haul away
Haul away, you’ll hear me sing
We’re bound for South Australia

To me heave away, haul away
I rocked her all around the town.

To me heave away, haul away
With a bottle of whiskey in my hand
We’re bound for South Australia
