Does anyone remember this song? When I first came to this land I was not a wealthy man So I got myself a shack I did what I could And I called my shack Break my back In this green and pleasant land I did what I could When I first came to this land I was not a wealthy man So I got myself a donkey I did what I could And I called my donkey Horse gone wonkey And I called my shack Break my back In this green and pleasant land I did what I could............ It goes on and on in this manner, he gets himself a cow called 'no milk now' a hen called 'now and then' a wife called 'run for you life' and the final part is a son called 'my works done' It really is a nice little 'happy song' - my kids love it. I am trying to find out what it is called. I have tried the obvious...'when I first came to this land' and 'I was not a wealthy man', etc but nothing has become apparent. I think the lyrics are corrrect but I would like to find the chords to play it correctly if possible....always a bonus! Anyone got any ideas? thanks Maxine
