Текст (слова) песни «Now I'm Easy»
Well for fifty years and more I've been a Cocky
Of fire and flood and drought I've lived through plenty
This country's dust and mud have shared my tears and blood
But it's nearly over now --now I'm easy
I married a young girl whewn I was twenty
She died giving birth when she was thirty
No flying doctor then just a gentle old black Jin
But it's nearly over now-- now I'm easy
She left me with two sons and a daughter
And a bone dry farm who's soil cries out for water
The care was rough and ready
But they grew up fine and steady
But it's nearly over now -- now I'm easy
My daughter married young and went her own way
My two sons lie dead by the Burma railway
On this land I've made my own I've learned to be alone
But it's nearly over now -- now I'm easy
City folks these days despise the Cocky
They say with subsidies and all we've had it easy
But theres no drought or starving stock
On your sewered suburban block
But it's nearly over now -- now I'm easy
Repeat 1st verse and endit..
Hope you enjoy this half as much as I do.
Of fire and flood and drought I've lived through plenty

But it's nearly over now --now I'm easy

No flying doctor then just a gentle old black Jin
But it's nearly over now-- now I'm easy
She left me with two sons and a daughter
And a bone dry farm who's soil cries out for water
The care was rough and ready
But they grew up fine and steady
But it's nearly over now -- now I'm easy
My daughter married young and went her own way
My two sons lie dead by the Burma railway
On this land I've made my own I've learned to be alone
But it's nearly over now -- now I'm easy

But it's nearly over now -- now I'm easy
