Lyrics
Cape Cod girls they use no combs, Resp: Heave away, haul away! They combs their hair with cod fish bones. Resp: And we're bound away for Australia!
Chorus: Heave her up me bully, bully boys. Heave away, haul away! Heave her up and don't ye make no noise, And we're bound for Australia!
Cape Cod cats don't have no tails, Resp: Heave away, haul away! Lost them all in southeast gales. Resp: And we're bound away for Australia! (Chorus)
Cape Cod kids don't use no sleds, Resp: Heave away, haul away! They slides them down hills on cod fish heads. Resp: And we're bound away for Australia! (Chorus)
Cape Cod girls don't wear no clothes, Resp: Heave away, haul away! We're Cape Cod bound just as straight as she goes. Resp: And we're bound away for Australia!
