When I First Came To This Land Lyrics by The Halifax Three

The Halifax Three

0

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 that 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 a wife, and I did what I could
So I got myself a wife, called that wife “Run For Your Life”
But the land was sweet and good, and I did what I could
Now when a year had passed away, I came home one summers day
Found I got myself a son, and I did what I could
Found I got myself a son, called my son "My Work's Done”
But the land was sweet and good, and I did what I could
When he grew up, he left that farm and he brought a wife back on his arm
Soon the rooms were full of kids, but 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
Now when I first came to this land, I was not a wealthy man
But I've built my family tree as I did what I could
Now I've built my family tree, calle that tree “Is 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 "Is Enough For Me"
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
