The Limeliters — When I First Came To This Land

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 nor 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 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 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 Yes I did what I could Now I've built my family tree I call 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
