"NOW I`M EASY"- Eric BogleFor nearly sixty years, I`ve been a CockieOf droughts and fires and floods I`ve lived through plentyThis country`s dust and mud have seen my tears and bloodBut it`s nearly over now, and now I`m easyI married a fine girl when I was twentyBut she died in giving birth when she was thirtyNo flying doctor then, just a gentle old black `ginBut it`s nearly over now, and now I`m easy She left me with two sons and a daughterOn a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for waterSo my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steadyBut it`s nearly over now, and now I`m easy My daughter married young, and went her own wayMy sons lie buried by the Burma RailwaySo on this land I`ve made me home, I`ve carried on aloneBut it`s nearly over now, and now I`m easy City folks these days despise the CockieSay with subsidies and dole, we`ve had it easyBut there`s no drought or starving stock on a sewered suburban blockBut it`s nearly over now, and now I`m easy For nearly sixty years, I`ve been a CockieOf droughts and fires and floods, I`ve lived through plentyThis country`s dust and mud, have seen my tears and bloodBut it`s nearly over now, and now I`m easyAnd now I`m easy NOTES:Cockie: Australian small-scale family farmer`Gin ("Jen"): an Australian aboriginal woman(The term is nowadays considered to be derogatory)
