The farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
One man likes to push a plough,
The other likes to chase a cow,
But that's no reason why they cain't be friends
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals
I'd like to say a word for the farmer,
He come out west and made a lot of changes
He come out west and built a lot of fences,
And built 'em right acrost our cattle ranges
The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen,
No matter what the cowman says of things
You seldom see 'em drinkin' in a bar room
Unless somebody else is buyin drinks
But the farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the famer and the cowman should be friends
The cowman ropes a cow with ease,
The farmer steals her butter and cheese,
But that's no reason why they can't be friends
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals
I'd like to say a word for the cowboy,
The road he treads is difficult and stoney
He rides for days on end with jist a pony for a friend
I sure am feelin' sorry for the pony!
The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy
If he rides by and asks for food and water
Don't treat him like a louse
Make him welcome in your house
But be sure that you lock up your wife and daughters!
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals
{Instrumental Till End}
