When I First Came to This Land Songtext
von Charlotte Diamond

When I first came to this land, not much money in my hand.
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, not much money in my hand.
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, not much money in my hand.
So I got myself a horse and I did what I could.

And I called my horse, "Trouble of course!"
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, not much money in my hand.
So I got myself a cow and I did what I could.


And I called my cow, "No milk now!"
And I called my horse, "Trouble of course!"
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, not much money in my hand.
So I got myself a pig and I did what I could.

And I called my pig, "Not very big!"
And I called my cow, "No milk now!"
And I called my horse, "Trouble of course!"
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, not much money in my hand.
So I wrote myself a song and sang it where I could.

And I called my song, "This is too long!"
And I called my pig, "Not very big!"
And I called my cow, "No milk now!"
And I called my horse, "Trouble of course!"
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.
