Testo Now I´m Easy

Now I´m EasyFor nearly sixty years I´ve been a cocky,Of droughts and fires and floodsI´ve lived through plenty,This country´s dust and mudhave seen my tears and blood,But it´s nearly over now and now I´m easy.I married a fine girl when I was twenty,She died in giving birthwhen she was thirty,No flying doctor thenjust a gentle old black gen,But it´s nearly over now and now I´m easy.She left me with two sons and a daughter,And a bone dry farm whose soilcried out for water,Though me care was rough and readythey grew up fine and steady,But it´s nearly over now and now I´m easy.Me daughter married oyungand went her own ways,My sons lie buried by the Burma railway,So on this land I´ve made me homeI´ve carried on alone,But it´s nearly over now and now I´m easy.Oh city folks these days despise the cocky,Saying with subsidiesand dole we´ve had it easy,But there´s no drought or starving stockon the sewered suburban block,But it´s nearly over now and now I´m easy.
