And I called that shack, break my back, Oh, 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, And I called that wife, scourge of my life, And I called that shack, break my back, Oh, 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 donkey, And I did what I could. And I called that donkey, horse gone wonkey, And I called that wife, scourge of my life, And I called that shack, break my back, Oh, the land was sweet and goodand 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. And I called that cow, no milk now, And I called that donkey, horse gone wonkey, And I called that wife, scourge of my life, And I called that shack, break my back, Oh the land was sweet and good, and I did what I could.

It was more sarcastic. There was a daughter verse that said, "And I called her, Go-Fetch-Water." The version I know ends with: I got myself a son, and I said (arms crossed, big sigh) "My work's done." (said slowly with relief) I knew a different version of this song. It was more sarcastic.
