Description "South Australia"
South Australia is an archetypal sea shanty, with its alternate lines of solo and chorus:
In South Australia I was born
Heave away, haul away
In South Australia round Cape Horn
We’re bound for South Australia.
These were working songs which would accompany tasks such as hoisting the heavy topsail yards.
Selected from The Seafaring Fiddler. For this brand new collection of fiddle tunes from the golden age of sail Edward Huws Jones has researched and compiled an eclectic selection of sea shanties, ‘forebitters’, jigs, reels, hornpipes, songs and other melodies which were traditionally played as accompaniment to hard labour or times of recreation for sailors at sea.
