When I First Came To This Land
(Traditional)

ADAE7
When I first came to this land, I was not a
AADAE7
wealthy man. So I got myself a shack, I did what
ADAE7A
I could. And I called my shack, break my back.
ADAE7
But the land was sweet and good, I did what I
A
could.
ADAE7
When I first came to this land, I was not a
AADAE7
wealthy man. So I got myself a farm, I did what
ADAE7A
I could. And I called my farm, muscle in my arm,
DAE7AA
And I called my shack, break my back. But the
DAE7A
land was sweet and good, I did what I could.
And I called my cow, no milk now...
And I called my horse, slow of course...
     
And I called my duck, out of luck...
And I called my wife, run for your life...
And I called my son, my work is done...
