lyrics

My eyes are dry, I’ve got no heart for breakin’
My eyes are dry, I cannot cry
And I’ve got no heart for breakin, for breakin’

Now up and down the siding brown
The great black crows are flyin'
And down below the spur I know
Another milker's dyin'
The crops have withered from the ground
And the earth’s clay bed is glarin'
But from my heart no tear nor sound
For I have gone past carin'

Through death and trouble, round about
Through hopeless desolation
Through flood and fever, fire and drought,
slavery and starvation
Through childbirth, sickness, hurt, and blight,
And nervousness an' scarin'
Through being left alone at night
I've gone to be past carin'


My first child took, in days like these
A cruel week in dyin'
All day upon her father's knees
Or on my poor breast lyin'
The tears we shed the prayers we said
They were awful, wild despairin'
Now I've pulled three through and buried two
Since then I’ve grown past carin'
Past worryin' and wearin'
Past trouble and desparin’
I've pulled three through and buried two
Since then, I’ve grown past carin'

'Twas ten years first, then came the worst
All for a dusty clearin'
I thought, I thought my heart would burst
When first my man went shearin'
He's drovin' on the great North-west
And I don't know how he's farin'
But I the one who loves him best
Have grown to be past carin'


My eyes are dry I cannot cry
And I got no heart for breakin'
But where it was in days gone by
Is empty dull and achin'
My last boy ran away from me
And I know my temper's wearin'
And now I only wish to be
Beyond all signs of carin'
Past worryin’ and wearin’
Past feelin' and despairin'
And now I only wish to be
Beyond all signs, all signs of carin'
