"NOW I'M EASY"
- Eric

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

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

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

My daughter married young, and her own way
My sons lie by the Burma Railway
So on this land I've made me home, I've carried on
But nearly 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 starving stock on a suburban block
But it's nearly now, and now I'm easy

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