  • Written by Eric Bogle and sung here by Jim Brannigan, The Cocky Song tells the life story of a Scottish immigrant who settled in Australia's outback. Like many of Eric Bogle's works, it speaks to the harsh realities of life. In this case, the farmers who scraped a meager existence off the sparse, scorched earth that is Australia's outback.
    At the time this song was written (1976) the price of beef was so low that cattle ranchers were forced to drive their cattle into mass graves. They simply could not afford to transport them to the abattoirs
    and yet I as a young man, living on minimum wage could easily afford to eat steak on a daily basis.

      @h2oboater "Just stumbled upon this video , the s..." Me too, albeit a couple of days later. The song was written by a Scot and is best sung by one. I'm of the first generation of 7/8 of my families to be born in a city, to the best of my knowledge and that's in both Australia and Ireland. One set of my grandparents still had a primitive farm north of Adelaide and I spent some of my childhood with them, no motor cars or electricity and entertainment Sunday mass, there and back by horse and jinker, with Grandpa riding in to make room for the "childer". The rural pioneer part of our history gets forgotten but it formed our country and our culture. Eric Bogle is a genius, in his songs, he's captured the foundations of our country.
