[tab] *
For nearly sixty years, I ve been a y[/tab]
[tab] * *
Of droughts and fires and floods, I ve lived through plenty[/tab]
[tab]
Yes, this country s dust and mud, has seen my tears and blood[/tab]
[tab] *
But it s nearly over now, and now I m easy___[/tab]


[tab] *
I married a fine girl when I was twenty[/tab]
[tab] * *
But she died in giving birth when she was thirty[/tab]
[tab]
No Flying Doctor then, just a gentle old black gin[/tab]
[tab] *
But it s nearly over now, and now I m easy___[/tab]

[tab] *
She left me with two sons and a daughter[/tab]
[tab] * *
And a bone-dry farm whose soil cried out for water[/tab]
[tab]
So my care was rough and ready, but they grew up fine and steady[/tab]
[tab] *
But it s nearly over now, and now I m easy___[/tab]

[tab] *
My daughter married young, and went her own way[/tab]
[tab] * *
My sons lie buried by the Burma Railway[/tab]
[tab]
So on this land I ve made my own, I ve carried on a-lone[/tab]
[tab] *
But it s nearly over now, and now I m easy___[/tab]


City folks, these days, despise the y
Say with subsidies and all, we ve had it easy
But there s no drought or starving stock, on your sewered suburban block
But it s nearly over now, and now I m easy
