Shogun	Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun' (266* d)	RE: Discovering world legacy of shanties by 'Shogun'	12 Jun 22
155 - South Australia (Doerflinger Version) - Capstan Shanty "South Australia", is usually sung at capstan (anchor) and pumps. Here version from William Main Doerflinger's book "Shantymen And Shantyboys" (1951). And we have another name for a list of great shantymen, from who William Doerflinger gained this song: William Laurie of Sailors' Snug Harbor. Unfortunately, Doerflinger recorded only one stanza of this beautiful version. "Shanties from the Seven Seas" by Stan Hugill (1st ed p 195). South Australia (Doerflinger Version) Oh, in South Australia where I was born, - Heave away! Haul away! In South Australia round Cape Horn, - I'm bound for south Australia! - Heave away, you Ruler King - Heave away! Haul away! - Heave away, don't you hear me sing? - We're bound for South Australia!
