- * 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.
* 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 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
* And I 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
* 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
* 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

* 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
