Agh.. That old nugget.. A tale as old as time from every ex pat ever.
Met Eric Bogle Twice
What a songwriter
Yesterday, I was drinking at the Bushranger Pub in Collector, NSW. Eric Bogle drank with an old cockie there in the early 70s. An old cockie told Eric his life story. Eric wrote this song after this conversation.
RIP Ronnie and the great AWSOM Dubliners.
This song has been making me tear up for years; beautiful. (and whenever I wonder what god would look like, I get two guys: Morgan Freeman or Ronnie Drew....this man has SO much gravitas and natural dignity)
Sorry to Burst your bubble but Morgan Freeman is an absolute creep. Stick with Ronnie a true gent

RONNIE DREW & LIAM CLANCY IRELAND'S FINEST SINGERS
& BOTH REBELS .X
Luke Kelly has to be in any top three
I would have loved to have met ronnie, great singer, I remember when he died in 2008, I remember being very sad when I was told he died
Beautifully pax, sage, evocative
what a voice
Song about the harsh Aussie environment.Written by Eric Bogle...
Great Aussie song about our land...Eric Bogle does a brilliant rendition... sung in Australia...I believe he wrote this song...
Thank you Australia! Lots of love from Ireland!
Great tune
Wrote the song after meeting an old cocky in the Bushranger Hotel, Collector according to rumour
Eric bogel a Scots man writing a song about Australia sung by the best in the business the Irish
Never knew
Amazing singing by Ronnie'o his singing paints a picture like no other🙂
God bless them all R.l.P ☘️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🌹❤️🕊️🕊️🕊️😭👍
This is THE version 😉
God bless him
Ireland's best story teller, ever...simply epic !!!
Such a beautiful sad song
And true.... Eric Bogle wrote it after meeting the old man in an Australian pub
Look I'm a youngster from Northern Europe and though I understand the English language the Burma Railway part hit way harder after reading this
Australia sent the 8th Division of the Australian Army to fortify Malaya and Singapore during WW2. The Japanese Army captured them. About a third of the soldiers died from starvation and Japanese brutality. Most died building a railway from Thailand to Burma (Myanmar). About 50,000 Europeans (Dutch, British and Australians) and 200,000 Asians died building this now abandoned railway.
The Japanese great ideal culture, saw the results of their barbarism towards POWs in my own family circle, savages all, it’s their culture.
Still love Ronnie's voice
Ronnie was and is one of the best singers
in Ireland
People praise Luke & of course - but I always preferred Ronnie - 2 men that could really put their stamp on a song
brilliant
God bless the Daddy 🕊️🕊️🕊️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
That is some song
All the legends gone
Unreal
Ronnie drew up there with DYLAN CHRISTY MOORE & LIAM CLANCY - THROUGH IN MICK JAGGER .IMAGINE THAT LOT ON STAGE TOGETHER.
I would not rate any of the above. B
A treasure !
Would love to of heard a bridge in this lovely song.
Long live Ronnie...
Apart from the amazing voice of Ronnie Drew the band compliment this song perfectly.
קול נדיר ביופיו .אין צורך ברמקול !
Brilliant
The price payable for our freedom. Paid in death and blood. The oath doesn't expire
Only one Ronnie drew.
❤
Ronnie Drew eine Legende!☘☘🌈
Anyone know what "I'm easy" means
I've figured it's like... "I'm content" or "I'm at peace" but not sure
At peace
I've transcended it all, attained peace.
Ronnie 💖💔💖💯

Ronnie was unique. Sadly missed.

Mr Bogle may have sung and wrote these lyrics but he doesn't sing it like Ronnie .. Great voice ..

Now I'm Easy Lyrics
For nearly sixty years I've been a cocky
Of droughts and fires and floods
I've lived through plenty
This country's dust and mud
Have seen my tears and blood
But it's nearly over now
And now I'm easy
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 gen.
But it's nearly over now
And now I'm easy
She left me with two sons and a daughter
And a bone dry farm
Whose soil cried out for water
Though my care was rough and ready
They grew up fine and steady
But it's nearly over now
And now I'm easy
My daughter married young
And went her own way
My sons lie buried
By the Burma railway
So on this land I've made me home
I've carried on alone
But it's nearly over now
And now I'm easy
Oh, city folks, these days despise the cocky
Saying with subsidies and dole
We've had it easy
But there's no drought or starving stock
On the sewered suburban block
But it's nearly over now
And now I'm easy
For nearly sixty years I've been a cocky
Of droughts and fires and floods
I've lived through plenty
This country's dust and mud
Have seen my tears and blood
But it's nearly over now
And now I'm easy
But it's nearly over now
And now I'm easy
Cocky: is a slang word for farmer: Australian origin. Check source

RONNIE DREW
NOW I'M EASY LYRICS
"Now I'm Easy" is a song by Ronnie Drew.
Hilarious that some letters in the word "cocky" have been replaced by asterisks! 😂It's an Australian slang word for farmer.
Thank you for printing lyrics it makes the song much more enjoyable.
Old Black "Gen"
is actually Old Black Gin meaning Old Aboriginal Woman
Old black gin is referring to an old Aboriginal Lady who knew and understood human life.
He is playing G C D and is it a G7?
The image of a guy who’s lost everyone he loved, growing old and toiling on alone, is unbearably sad.
I’d say only singers like Ronnie, Luke (and probably Bob Dylan) could tell a tale like that without losing it to sentimentality.
It’s certainly sad but you can come away admiring the fortitude of the narrator, rather than simply pitying him.
And that’s one of the reasons why Ronnie Drew is one of the greats, folks. 🙂✌️
The song's wonderful, Ronnie Drew's great, as usual, but that band... seriously, keyboards!? No, no, Ronnie, you shouldn't have let them do that to you, or to the song. If he had done this with the Dubliners, it would have been superb.
Charles Phillip ABDilla Beashel
Pecker dunne sings the best version
Sadly, band is so loud, drowning out singer.
More like a unity. It's easy enough to hear him and those dulcet instruments really capture the sentiments without being sentimental
I just typed in his name and heard this brilliant song for the first time...awesome
