Matt Lutz and Aaron Jodoin — When I First Came to This Land lyrics

Lyrics

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.
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 shack and I did what I could.
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 dog and I did what I could.
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 wife and I did what I could.
And I called my wife, «Run for your life.»
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 wife, «Run for your life.»
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 horse, and I did what I could.
And I called my horse, «Lame of course.»
And I called my cow, «No milk now.»
And I called my wife, «Run for your life.»
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 hen and I did what I could.
And I called my hen, «Now and then.»
And I called my horse, «Lame of course.»
And I called my cow, «No milk now.»
And I called my wife, «Run for your life.»
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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, «No work done.»
And I called my hen, «Now and then.»
And I called my horse, «Lame of course.»
And I called my cow, «No milk now.»
And I called my wife, «Run for your life.»
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 daughter and I did what I could.
And I called my daughter, «Fetch the water.»
And I called my son, «No work done.»
And I called my hen, «Now and then.»
And I called my horse, «Lame of course.»
And I called my cow, «No milk now.»
And I called my wife, «Run for your life.»
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 donkey and I did what I could.
And I called my donkey, «Horse gone wonky.»
And I called my daughter, «Fetch the water.»
And I called my son, «No work done.»
And I called my hen, «Now and then.»
And I called my horse, «Lame of course.»
And I called my cow, «No milk now.»
And I called my wife, «Run for your life.»
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
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 donkey, «Horse gone wonky.»
And I called my daughter, «Fetch the water.»
And I called my son, «No work done.»
And I called my hen, «Now and then.»
And I called my horse, «Lame of course.»
And I called my cow, «No milk now.»
And I called my wife, «Run for your life.»
And I called my dog, «Life like a log.»
And I called my shack, «Break my back.»
And I called my farm, «Muscle in my arm.»
But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could.
But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could.
