When I First Came To This Land

When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a shack
And I did what I could

And I called my shack “Break My Back”
But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could

When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a cow
And I did what I could

And I called my cow “No Milk Now”
And I called my shack “Break My Back”
But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could

When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a duck
And I did what I could

And I called my duck “Out Of Luck”
And I called my cow “No Milk Now”
And I called my shack “Break My Back”
But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could...Duck...Out Of Luck...

When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a wife
And I did what I could

And I called my wife “Love Of My Life”
And I called my duck “Out Of Luck”
And I called my cow “No Milk Now”
And I called my shack “Break My Back”
But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could...Duck...Out Of Luck...

When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a son
And I did what I could

And I called my son “My Works Done”
And I called my wife “Love Of My Life”
And I called my duck “Out Of Luck”
And I called my cow “No Milk Now”
And I called my shack “Break My Back”
But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could
