Also known as "South Australia" this is a sea shanty that was used by the wool traders who worked the clipper ships between Australian ports and London. It was well known as a farewell song, sung at the docks as the big ships were leaving. A version was collected by Laura Smith from sailors in Tyneside and printed in her "The Music of the Waters" in 1888.

It has been recorded several times, some notable recordings being by The Seekers (1964), The Pilgrims, The Poxy Boggards, The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, The Corsairs, A.L.Lloyd and The Pogues (1987)
