When we lolloped 'round Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
Wish to God you'd never been born
Bound for South Australia
Heave away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Heave away, now hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia
We've got a good ship and a jolly crew
And a good captain and first mate too
Kiama girls they've got no combs
They brush their hair with schnappers bones
Now Lisa Lee she promised me
When I return she'll marry me
And now I’m bound for a foreign land
With a bottle of whisky in my hand
I’ll drink a glass to the foreign shore
And one to the girl that I adore
Oh, South Australia is my home
From South Australia I’ll never roam
