It's nearly sixty years I've been a Cocky

Of drought and fire and flood I've lived through plenty

I married a fine girl when I was twenty

She died in giving birth when she was thirty

No flying doctor then, just a gentle old black gin

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

My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
  G+G    C majorC     G+G         C majorC      G+G   D MajorD
So on this land I've made me own, I've carried on alone
     B minorBm   C majorC  D MajorD        C majorC   D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

City folk these days despise the Cocky
   G+G            C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
They say, with subsidies and all, we've had it easy
        G+G     C majorC   G+G     C majorC        G+G  D MajorD
But there's no drought or dying stock on a sewered suburban lot

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