The Pogues - South Australia

Here´s a good song from the Pogues´ album "If I Should Fall From Grace With God".


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

Thrash metal? Thrash metal??? Pah! It's like y'mum humming Abba compared to this! I just knocked over the pot plant and I think I've tweaked me hamstring. Fabulous..

Great song! I prefer the version by Barney McKenna of The Dubliners, though!
