Pete Seeger - When I First Came to This Land lyrics
[Pete Seeger - When I First Came to This Land lyrics]
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"
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 shack "Break My back"
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 cow "No Milk Now"
And I called my shack "Break My back"
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 duck "Out of Luck"
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 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 "My Works Donе"
And I called my wife "Run for Your Life"
And I callеd my duck "Out of Luck"
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 what I could
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"
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 shack "Break My back"
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 cow "No Milk Now"
And I called my shack "Break My back"
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 duck "Out of Luck"
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 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 "My Works Donе"
And I called my wife "Run for Your Life"
And I callеd my duck "Out of Luck"
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 what I could
