"South Australia" by The Whistlin' Donkeys

 


Erin Go Bragh!

Here are County of Tyrone lads The Whistlin' Donkeys with their cover of "South Australia," performed at Mandela Hall in Belfast.

Though the song is a folk sea shanty that can be traced back as far as 1888, I'll call this a cover of The Pogues, as they were among the first bands in the modern era to revive this one, heaving away and hauling away on their 1988 Celt punk album "If I Should Fall from Grace with God."
