When I First Came To This Land

 
When I first came to this land 
I was not a wealthy man 
So I built 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. 

Repeat with cow, hen, duck, donkey, wife and son. The end verse
should look like this: 

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 work is done 
And I called my wife - Love of my life (run for your life) 
And I called my donkey - Horse gone wonkey 
And I called my duck - Out of luck 
And I called my hen - Now and then 
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
