Dubliners, The - Now I'm Easy Lyrics

Thanks for sharing this. Great recording.

Impressive. These guys are old since the first video I saw of them kkkk

Never see the likes of these great singers again outstanding !

Those eyes tell many a story ♥️x

To all that know from with in, listen true to what you hear, for that off all you’ve ever known, keep it close keep at home and love always those off whom you atone too. For there outside it’s filled with rats that will in turn try to drown you out off life. Silence it don’t work.

The Dubliner pub is no more the Irish center had gone and moved my dad past away. The bubliners band gone. 🍺☘️💪 It's all over now

Memories ...hold on to them

@Sharon Murphy Thank you

God bless them all

@Sean Carolanwill have a whiskey this xmass in memory and play me Irish songs 🍺☘️

5* Class

We saw them so many time and they were always brilliant. Many are gone RIP but never forgotten.

amen to that 80 and still the best fiddler in irleand

Wow.absoultly brilliant

Looks like Spike Milligan

What a wonderful voice and love his music!!!

Miss ya

A song written by a Scotsman (Eric Bogle), about a farmer from Braidwood in NSW, Australia and sung by an Irishman. Wonderful.

Brilliant up the Ennis boys that was when the Late Late was proper entertainment R R I P Gay and Ronnie

I like Ireland ( so much )Ed from Poland

Superb.

Ronnie Drew is a legend with "a voice like a sack of coal dragged over a cellar floor".

❤❤❤

Its nearly over now and now I'm easy. Old friend Ireland, city folks as we have had it easy, nearly sixty Yeats I've been a pup0y

And now is gonna come why they are hated who gives a fuck
Travellers in the uk made the uk

Late Late Show 1987 . B

One of my favourites.

The best version of a great song. Sadly missed Ronnie.

Absolutey

Amazingly good version. Stands in its own right. I'm an Aussie so I've heard Eric Bogle sing it live several times - when he sings it solo with guitar - you can hear a pin drop from start to finish. Having said that, this is a great version - the two fill separate niches

Jim Norton

One of Eric Bogle's best songs, elequently sung by Ronnie Drew. Superb..!!

Real great Irish music 👒☘️

Quite moving.

What a song, Legends in the true sense!

For nearly sixty years I've been a cocky
Of draughts 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 my home
I carried on alone
But it's nearly over now
And now I'm easy

Ah city folks these day 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

@pegknife thankyou, musy admit never heard of "gen' with the 'e'. A quick google did give me another another origin of 'gin' as in 'diyin' pronounced 'gin' from the Dharuk people (Sydney group). But 'gen' it is!

A quick google gives either 'gin' ( considered derogatory - well, derogatory even among my parents' generation i.e. 1920s) or 'jen' from 'jenny' (generalised, common nick name for a female servant).

Thankyou

@pegknife What is a "Cochy"?

My eyes burn. My heart hurts Ronnie. Rip you are Dublin. That is all.
