      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 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. 🙂✌️

    Flashlyrics
    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
