[Intro] [Verse 1] 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 called my shack “Break My Back”. But the land was sweet and good and I did what I could. [Verse 2] 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. 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. [Verse 3] 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. And I called my duck “Out of Luck” 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. [Instrumental] [Verse 4] 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. And I called my wife “Run For Your Life” And I called my duck “Out of Luck” 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. [Instrumental] [Verse 5] 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 Works Done” And I called my wife “Run For Your Life” And I called my duck “Out of Luck” 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.

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une personne qui arrive dans une nouvelle terre sans richesse, cherchant à bâtir sa vie petit à petit. Avec détermination, il s'installe dans une baraque et acquiert différents animaux, chacun avec un nom qui reflète sa situation difficile et humoristique. Malgré les défis, un sentiment de satisfaction émerge de son travail acharné et de l’appréciation de la beauté de la terre qui l’entoure. Ce récit montre comment, même en partant de rien, on peut trouver du bonheur et de la valeur dans les efforts déployés.
