There’s this feeling I sometimes get watching humans do the cool things that humans have been doing for thousands of years. It makes my chest expand and my heart thud and I love it. I love this.
Shame on the Mayor for not adding the song facts! You know this song.
This is ‘Bound for South Australia’, and it goes like this:
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 king, heave away, haul away Haul away, you’ll hear me sing, we’re bound for South Australia
As I walked out one morning fair, heave away, haul away ‘Twas there I met Miss Nancy Blair, we’re bound for South Australia There’s just one thing that’s on my mind, heave away, haul away That’s leaving Nancy Blair behind, we’re 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, we’re bound for South Australia In South Australia I was born, heave away, haul away In South Australia, ‘round Cape Horn, we’re bound for South Australia.
