slim dusty - now i'm easy lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
for nearly sixty years, i’ve been a c+cky
of droughts and fires and floods i’ve lived through plenty
this country’s dust and mud have seen my tears and blood
but it’s nearly over now, and now i’m easy

[verse 2]
i married a fine girl when i was twenty
but she died in giving birth when she was thirty
no flying doctor then, just a gentle old black friend
but it’s nearly over now, and now i’m easy

[verse 3]
she left me with two sons and a daughter
and a bone+dry farm whose soil cried out for water
so my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady
but it’s nearly over now, and now i’m easy

[verse 4]
my daughter married young, and went her own way
my sons lie buried by the burma railway
so on this land i’ve made me home, i’ve carried on alone
but it’s nearly over now, and now i’m easy

[verse 5]
city folks these days despise the c+cky
say with subsidies and dole, we’ve had it easy
but there’s no drought or starving stock on a sewered suburban block
but it’s nearly over now, and now i’m easy

[repeat verse 1]
for nearly sixty years, i’ve been a c+cky
droughts and fires and floods, i’ve lived through plenty
this country’s dust and mud, have seen my tears and blood
but it’s nearly over now, and now i’m easy
and now i’m easy
