Crazy Eddie Origins: Now I'm Easy (Eric Bogle) - 'cocky' (42) Missing word: 'Now I'm Easy' 24 Jun 01


Listening to this song on a CD, the first line is
For nearly sixty years I've been a ????????
The word I can't quite get sounds like "Crocky, Crockle, ....Croppy"
Clearly it means some type of farmer.
Any assistance with the word, and with it's more specific meaning (eg stockman, homesteader, squatter etc.) much appreciated. Eddie
