South Australia / Esikibo River / Blood Red Roses / Little Sally Racket

South Australia

In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
South Australia round Cape Horn
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

If ever you've been around Cape Horn
Heave away, haul away
You'll wish to god you'd never been born
We're bound for South Australia

Haul away, you rolling king
Heave away, haul away
Haul away, you'll hear me sing
We're bound for South Australia

Esikibo River

Esikibo River is the queen of rivers all
Buddy ta-na-na, we are somebody, oh
Esikibo River is the queen of rivers all
Buddy ta-na-na, we are somebody, oh
Somebody, oh, somebody, oh
Buddy ta-na-na, we are somebody, oh

Esikibo's captain is the king of captains all
Buddy ta-na-na, we are somebody, oh
Esikibo's captain is the king of captains all
Buddy ta-na-na, we are somebody, oh
Somebody, oh, somebody, oh
Buddy ta-na-na, we are somebody, oh

Blood Red Roses

Me boots and clothes are all in pawn
Go down, you blood red roses, go down
And it's mighty draughty 'round Cape Horn
Go down, you blood red roses, go down
Oh, you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood red roses, go down

Just one more pull and that'll do
Go down, you blood red roses, go down
For we're the boys to pull her through
Go down, you blood red roses, go down
Oh, you pinks and posies
Go down, you blood red roses, go down

Little Sally Racket

Well, Little Sally Racket
Haul her away
Pawned me favourite jacket
Haul her away
And then she lost the ticket
Haul her away
To me, hauley high-o
Haul her away

Little Nancy Dawson
Haul her away
Ran off with the parson
Haul her away
Now she's got a little barson
Haul her away
To me, hauley high-o
Haul her away

Oh, you fighting cocks now
Haul her away
Go down and get your grog now
Haul her away
For we have worked enough now
Haul her away
To me, hauley high-o
Haul her away
To me, hauley high-o
Haul her away
Haul her away
