Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Bogle
[00:08.40] For nearly sixty years, I've been a Cockie
[00:15.88] Of droughts and fires and floods I've lived through plenty
[00:23.30] And this country's dust and mud have seen my tears and blood
[00:31.58] But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[00:43.65] I married a fine girl when I was twenty
[00:50.72] But she died in giving birth when she was thirty
[00:58.39] No flying doctor then, just a gentle old black 'gin
[01:06.18] But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[01:18.40] She left me with two sons and a daughter
[01:25.39] On a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water
[01:32.89] So my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady
[01:40.75] But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[01:52.37] My daughter married young, and went her own way
[01:59.77] My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
[02:06.79] So on this land I've made me home, I've carried on alone
[02:15.25] But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[03:01.50] For nearly sixty years, I've been a Cockie
[03:08.81] Of droughts and fires and floods, I've lived through plenty
[03:15.33] This country's dust and mud, have seen my tears and blood
[03:23.64] But it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
[03:31.48] Oh, it's nearly over now, and now I'm easy
