Now I'M Easy (1992 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty[00:00:00]
For nearly sixty years I've been a cocky[00:00:06]
Of droughts and fires and floods I've lived through plenty[00:00:14]
This country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood[00:00:22]
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy[00:00:29]
I married a fine girl when I was twenty[00:00:42]
But she died in giving birth when she was thirty[00:00:50]
No flying doctor then just a gentle old black friend[00:00:58]
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy[00:01:05]
She left me with two sons and a daughter[00:01:28]
And a bone dry farm whose soil cried out for water[00:01:36]
So my care was rough and ready but they grew up fine and steady[00:01:43]
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy[00:01:51]
My daughter married young and went her own way[00:02:03]
My sons lie buried by the burma railway[00:02:11]
So on this land I've made my home I've carried on alone[00:02:18]
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy[00:02:26]
City folks these days despise the cocky[00:02:48]
Say with subsidies and dole we've had it easy[00:02:56]
But there's no drought or starving stock on a sewered suburban block[00:03:03]
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy[00:03:11]
For nearly sixty years I've been a cocky[00:03:24]
Of droughts and fires and floods I've lived through plenty[00:03:32]
This country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood[00:03:39]
But it's nearly over now and now I'm easy[00:03:47]
And now I'm easy[00:03:55]
