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 all I could
And I called my shack 'Break my back'
But the land was sweet and good
And I did all I could



When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man

So I got myself a cow
And I did all 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 all I could

Hen - 'Now and then'
Donkey - 'Horse gone wonky'

Wife - 'Run for your life'
Son - 'My work's done'
