"NOW I'M EASY"
- Bogle

For sixty years, I've been a Cockie
Of droughts and fires and floods lived through plenty
country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood
But it's over now, and now I'm easy

I married a girl when I was twenty
But she in giving birth when she was thirty
No flying doctor then, just a old black 'gin
But it's over now, and now I'm easy

She left me two sons and a daughter
On a bone-dry farm soil cried out for water
So my care was rough and ready, but they up fine and steady
But it's over now, and now I'm easy

My married young, and went her own way
My sons lie by the Burma Railway
So on land I've made me home, I've carried on alone
But it's over now, and now I'm easy

City folks these days the Cockie
Say with subsidies and dole, we've had it
But there's no drought or stock on a sewered suburban block
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm

For nearly sixty years, I've been a
Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through
This dust and mud, have seen my tears and blood
But nearly over now, and now I'm easy
And now I'm
