South Australia (Royal Fortune Version)

4 May 2010

Chorus:

Haul away now you rolling Kin

Heave away, Haul away

Haul away now and hear me sing

And we’re bound for South Australia

1. They asked me how my money was made

Heave Away, Haul Away

I robbed a bank with a hand grenade

And we’re bound for South Australia

2. They asked me how I made my fee

I robbed Mt Eden ASB

3. Overalls on and looking mean

I’m 6 foot 6 but I’m seventeen

4. Ask me how my escape was made

I fucked off to Adelaide

5. I came back home to confess my crime

“Piss off kid don’t waste our time”
