When I First Came To This Land - The Limeliters

Lyricist：Trad

Composer：Trad

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

So I got myself a farm

Called my farm

The muscle in my arm

But the land was sweet and good

And I did what I could

That farm had neither dog or cat

Not a soul to holler at

So I got myself a wife

And I did what I could

So I got myself a wife

Called my wife

Run for your life

But the land was sweet and good

And I did what I could

When a year had passed away

I came home one Summer day

Found I'd got myself a son

And I did what I could

Found I'd got myself a son

Called my son

My work's done

But the land was sweet and good

And I did what I could

Well he grew up and left the farm

Brought a wife back on his arm

Soon the rooms were full of kids

And I did what I could

Soon the rooms were full of kids

Called those kids

Flip your lids

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

Now I've built my family tree

And I did

What I could

Now I've built my family tree

Called that tree

Enough for me

But the land was sweet and good

And I did what I could

And I called my farm

The muscle in my arm

Called my wife

Run for your life

Called my son

My work's done

Called those kids

Flip your lids

Family tree's

Enough for me

But the land was sweet and good

And I did

What I could
