"NOW I'M EASY"
- Bogle

For nearly sixty years, I've been a
Of droughts and fires and I've 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 then, just a gentle old black 'gin
But nearly over now, and now I'm easy

She left me with two and a daughter
On a farm whose soil cried out for water
So my care was rough and ready, but grew up fine and steady
But nearly over now, and now I'm easy

My daughter young, and went her own way
My sons lie buried by the Railway
So on this land I've made me home, I've carried on
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm

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

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