Lyrics:
That welcomes us tonight, that welcomes us tonight
But there's money in our pockets, and the Llandoger's in sight
Heave and ho (and ho), a roving we
heave, yeah
Taking the option in sight
Yeah, I was down, now I'm high
Shit, I'm ascending tonight
Fuck, the end, it is nigh
Everybody want a diamond, ayy
Now I'm dancing with death in a one-two-three waltz
Cos it's one for the crew who got sick and then died
And two for the bodies tossed over the side
Maybe gold maybe silver,
Remember to be brave.
Was it lost in a shipwreck or stolen in the night,
Or buried for safe keeping,
On an island out of sight
In South Australia I was born
Heave away haul away
In South Australia round Cape Horn
Bound for South Australia
Heave away you rolling kings
In South Australia I was born
Heave away haul away
In South Australia round Cape Horn
Bound for South Australia
Heave away you rolling kings
and away we'll go
We're bound for Californi-o
Back in the days of '49
Heave aweigh Santy Ano
Those were the days of the good old times
We're bound for
Hey ho too, I know you
Heave ho, heave
I must've been a horse's ass
To let her keep me under the lash
Some kind of king in a big palace
She
away for Australia
Heave her up, my bully, bully boys
Bound away, Bound away!
Heave her up, now don't you make some noise
Bound away for Australia
In
Galway boats don’t have no sails
Heave away! Haul away!
All blown off in the northwest gale
And we're bound away for the whaling!
And it’s heave 'er up
til I found
It's a darn sight worse than slavery when we got on the ground.
And it was haul boys haul, haul boys haul
Heave away the capstan lads
(Way-hey! Roll and go! Heave away and heave a pawl!)
It gars-me-grue
How they tried to hide the truth
In this day and age
Slavery trade is still a big taboo
on us
And became the undertow
Heave ho, onward we row
Heave ho, onward we row
Heave ho, oh it's onward we row
We're in this together
We'll get through
think, don't even ask)
Imagining a world created our way
(Heave-Ho, Heave-Ho)
You must fit in a world that's fake
Dancing on strings we cannot break
This
Heave
Heave onto me
Heave your hundred darts
Don't take no time
Hollow out my heart
Heave (hollow out my heart)
Heave onto me (hollow out my heart)
In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away
In South Australia, 'round Cape Horn, we're bound for South Australia
Haul away your rolling
out here but the wind and the tide
Bone in her teeth sails full and by
Tiller in hand bow rises free
No other life but a pirate's life for me
Scavengers
In South Australia I was born,
Heave away, Haul away!
In South Australia, round Cape Horn,
Bound for South Australia
Haul away, you rollin' king!
her up and away we'll go
Heave away Santy Anno
Heave her up and away we'll go
And we're bound for Californ-i-o
Back in the days of '49
Heave away Santy
the locks
Way, hey, roll and go
Where the pretty young girls all come down in their frocks
To me rollicking Randy Dandy-o
Heave a pawl, oh heave her away
Way,
Dirty skanky bass is my chakra
Throw it in my face like ninja star
Religious to the rave Allah Akbar
Offend your mate I don't give a fuck
Oi its not
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
Gyp the blood
Gyp the blood
Anchor of my heart
Skull and crossbones to the breeze
A heave ho to depart
So purity
I would spit upon
All saintly sights
find
A man of a man on a ship can't find
A man of a man on a ship can't find
A coffin bear in mind
Heave on!
Every man on board
Soon you rest at sea
