Indeed I was. The banner on the boat quotes the refrain, so I retrofitted some of the lyrics to other pictures in the set. And I was indeed born in south (not South) Australia. Melbourne, to be precise. "In South Australia I was born To me heave away, haul away In South Australia round Cape Horn Chorus We're bound for South Australia Haul away you rolling kings To me heave away, haul away Haul away, you'll hear me sing We're bound for South Australia 2. As I walked out one morning fair To me heave away, haul away 'Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair Chorus: 3. I shook her up and I shook her down To me heave away, haul away I shook her round about the town Chorus: 4. I run her all night and I run her all day To me heave away, haul away And I run her until we sailed away Chorus: 5. There ain't but one thing grieves me mind To me heave away, haul away To leave Miss Nancy Blair behind Chorus: 6. And as we wallop around Cape Horn To me heave away, haul away You'll wish to God you'd never been born Chorus: 7. In South Australia my native land To me heave away, haul away Full of rocks and thieves and fleas and sand Chorus: 8. I wish I was on some lonesome strand To me heave away, haul away With a bottle of whiskey in my hand Chorus:" -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
