"NOW I'M EASY"
- Bogle

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

I married a fine when I was twenty
But she died in giving birth 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 whose cried out for water
So my care was rough and ready, but they grew up and steady
But it's over now, and now I'm easy

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

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

For nearly 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 nearly over now, and now I'm
And now I'm
