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 that shack
Breakin' in my back!
(chorus)
All 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 that farm
Muscle in the arm!
And I called that shack
Breakin' in my back!
(chorus)
When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a HORSE
I did what i could
And I called that horse
Lame, of course!
And I called that farm...
And I called that shack...
(chorus)
When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a COW
I did what I could
And I called that cow
No milk now!
...horse...
...farm...
...shack...
(chorus)
When first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a PIG
I did what i could
And I called that pig
RIGGITY JIG!
...cow...
...horse...
...farm...
...shack...
(chorus)
When first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a WIFE
And I called that wife
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
...pig...
...cow...
...horse...
...farm...
...shack...
(chorus)
When I first came to this land
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a NITCH
I did what i could
And I called that Nitch
*clap clap*
CAMP FITCH!
...wife...
...pig...
...cow...
...horse...
...farm...
...shack...
All the land was sweet and good
I did what I could
