Tearz In Yer Earz

I wrote my girl from Jericho

I got a gig in Bendigo

And after Forbes I'll be home in a week

She wrote me back from Captain's Flat

Said, "I'm headin' up the Birdsville Track

With a banjo player from Stockwell Creek."

Well, if that don't beat all

Think I'll give them both a call:

I'm gonna speak with this banjo playin' creep.

Ah, but wait, here comes the stinger

She got ring, I got the finger,

There's no such place as Stockwell Creek.

I went buskin' in Deniliquin,

Played a club at Shepparton

And got drunk with a mate in Nar Nar Goon.

He told me he'd heard a rumour

While pullin' cones in Cooma

That my girl was with a Maouri west of Broome.

I felt so sad without her near

It was like having her here,

With a non de plume I booked a flight to Broome.

And then suddenly, it hit me,

Like a loud round of artillery,

There's nothing but the ocean west of Broome.

At a festival near Long Plains

The MC recognised my name.

"Your missus was just in here blowin' a didgeridoo."

I rushed over to stage 2

But when I got there she'd shot thru

Leavin' nothing but a note from me to you.

She said: "I liked you better before

I knew you so well, but let's talk it thru,

Why don't we meet in Wallaroo?

"Give me a call tomorrow morning."

But this routine was getting boring,

I know there's no such flamin' place as Wallaroo.

At a a joint near Davis Port

I asked a trucker, "Goin' north?"

He said, "Sorry Pal, I'm headin' south to Wallaroo."

Ah, you could've knocked me down flat,

I was lyin' on my back,

Tearz in my earz from cryin over you.

Yeah, you coulda knocked me down flat,

I was lyin' on my back,

Tearz in my earz from cryin

Tearz in my earz from cryin

Tearz in my earz from cryin over you.
