Oscar Brand – When I First Came To This Land lyrics

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

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 farm,
And I did what I could.

I called my farm
Muscle In My Arm,
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.

I called my cow
No Milk Now,
And I called my farm
Muscle In My Arm
And I called my shack
Break My back,
Oh, 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 wife,
And I did what I could.

And I called my wife
Run For Your Life,
And I called my cow
No Milk Now,
And I called my farm
The Muscle In My Arm,
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 son,
And I did what I could.

And I called my son
My Work is Done,
And I called my wife
Run For Your Life,
And I called my cow
No Milk Now,
And I called my farm
The Muscle In My Arm,
And I called my shack
Break My Back,
But the land was sweet and good,
Yes the land was sweet and good,
And I did what I could.
