For nearly sixty years I've been a Cockie
  G+G                         D MajorD
Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty
     G+G              C majorC         G+G
And this country's dust and mud have 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

But she died in giving birth when she was thirty
  G+G             C majorC         G+G
No flying doctor then, just a gentle old black 'gin

But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Verse:
  G+G              C majorC
She left me with two sons and a daughter
   G+G                   D MajorD
And a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water
  G+G                 C majorC        G+G
My care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady
           D MajorD        C majorC   G+G D MajorD
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
      G+G         G7G7     C majorC      G+G
So on this land I've made my home, I've carried on alone

But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
