When I First Came To This Land                    
(Traditional)                                     
                                                  
When I first came to this land, I was not a       
wealthy man. So I got myself a shack, I did what  
I could. And I called my shack, break my back.    
But the land was sweet and good, I did what I     
could.                                            
                                                  
When I first came to this land, I was not a       
wealthy man. So I got myself a farm, I did what   
I could. And I called my farm, muscle in my arm,  
And I called my shack, break my back. But the     
land was sweet and good, I did what I could.      
                                                  
And I called my cow, no milk now...               
                                                  
And I called my horse, slow of course...          
                                                  
And I called my duck, out of luck...              
                                                  
And I called my wife, run for your life...        
                                                  
And I called my son, my work is done...
