- ? 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 call my shack "Break my Back"
That's your part.

? 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 farm and
? I did what I could
? I call my farm Muscle in my Arm
? And I call 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
? I call my duck Out of Luck
? And I call my farm Muscle in my Arm
? And I call 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
? I call my cow No Milk Now

? I call my farm Muscle in my Arm
? And I call my shack "Break my Back
? But the land was sweet and good and
? I did what I could

Now the kind of music
I'm doing today is called folk music.
So if I'm singing a folk song, that makes me a folk singer,
right?
Okay.
So if I'm a folk singer singing a folk song,
what does that make you?
Folks!
Right, you're the folks.
So if this is a folk song, you're the folks.
This song belongs to us and we can mess around with it.
So if I came here to Wisconsin,
I got myself a wife and a cow and
a duck and a farm and a shack.
What else do you think I need?
Maybe I can make a new verse about it.
What do you think? Money?
I'm not sure what it looked like back then.
? When I first came to this land,
? I was not a wealthy man
? So I got myself some money and
? I did what I could
? I call my money It s Look Funny
? And I call my wife Joy of my Life
? And I call my cow No Milk Now
? Call my duck Out of Luck
? I call my farm Muscle in my Arm
? And I call my shack "Break my Back
? But the land was sweet and good and
? I did what I could.
Who's got another one? Yeah.
Food. That's a good idea.
? When I first came to this land,
? I was not a wealthy man
? So I got myself some food and
? I did what I could
? I call my food "It Tastes Good"
? And I call my money It s Look Funny
? Call my wife Joy of my Life
? I call my cow No Milk Now
? Call my duck Out of Luck
? I call my farm Muscle in my Arm
? And I call my shack "Break my Back
? But the land was sweet and good and
? I did what I could
