Verse:
  G               C
For nearly sixty years I've been a Cockie
  G                         D
Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty
     G              C         G
And this country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood
           D        C   G D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

Verse:
 G               C
I married a fine girl when I was twenty
    G                 D
But she died in giving birth when she was thirty
  G             C         G
No flying doctor then, just a gentle old black 'gin
           D        C   G D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy

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

Verse:
  G                  C
My daughter married young and went her own way
  G              D
My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
      G         G7     C      G
So on this land I've made my home, I've carried on alone
           D        C   G D
But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
