lyrics

By the river there lived a young mother
with five young sons to her name
She thought he was the good sort of man
At what point did living become slowly dying
and when did we all grow so old
Skeptical eyes are so cold

The eldest enlisted the moment he could
and was gone like a shot from a gun
and then all her boys well they grew into men
and they left to live their lives
filled with laughter and children and wives, Eadie

Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please
Dry your eyes dear dry
Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please
Dry your eyes dear dry, dry your eyes dear dry

And in that old home she was left all alone
with the books that sat on the shelves
got fired from her j ob 'cos her hearing was shot
now she waits for Christmas to come
'cos that's when the grandchildren show
dust the books there all standing in rows, Eadie

Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please
Dry your eyes dear dry
Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please
Dry your eyes dear dry, dry your eyes dear dry

Now the summers' they grow hotter by the year
you can feel your blood begin to boil
As she stands from her chair, she falls to the ground
and nobody knows she's gone
'til she's found a month later on, Eadie
Eadie, Eadie, Eadie

Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please
Dry your eyes dear dry
Oh dry your eyes dear, Eadie don't you cry please
Dry your eyes dear dry, dry your eyes dear dry
