paroles de chanson Now I'm Easy (The Cocky Farmer) - Foster , Allen

For nearly 60 years, I've been 'a' farmin'
Of floods, an' fires, an' droughts, I've had my sharin'
This country's dust an' mud have seen my tears and blood
But it's nearly over now, now I'm easy.

I married a pretty girl when I was 20,
She died givin' birth when she was 30.
No flying doctors then, just the gentle old like gent
But it's nearly over now, now I'm easy

She left me with two Sons and a Daughter
On a bone dry farm, that soil cried out for water
Though our cares were rough and ready
That grew all fine and steady
But it's nearly over now, now I'm easy

My Daughter married young, and went her own way
My Sons lie buried by the Burma Railway
And this land I've made my own, I've carried on alone
But it's nearly over now, now I'm easy

For nearly 60 years, I've been 'a' farmin'
Of floods, fires, and droughts, I've had my sharin'
This country's dust and' mud, have seen my tears and blood
But it's nearly over now, now I'm easy
Yes, it's nearly over now, now I'm easy
