lyrics for 'South Australia'

The tribe sing this song in scene 10, as a celebration of being accepted onto the island. the stage directions read 'They sing as barrels of Sweet Judy food and rum are fetched. Tools are passed around'. In the scene have the ensemble are up on stage and the other half are on the floor between the audience. boxes are passed through the space and thrown up to the people standing on stage. 







In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away

In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn, were bound for South Australia



Haul away your rolling king, heave away, haul away
Haul away, youll hear me sing, were bound for South Australia



As I walked out one morning fair, heave away, haul away
'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair, were bound for South Australia



There's just one thing that's on my mind, heave away, haul away
That's leaving Nancy Blair behind, were bound for South Australia



And as we wallop round Cape Horn, heave away, haul away
You'll wish to God you've never been born, were bound for South Australia



In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn, were bound for South Australia
