The Farmer And The Cowman

歌词

The farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends
One man likes to push a plow
The other likes to chase a cow
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 rancher's gals
Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the rancher's 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 across our cattle ranges

The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen
No matter what the cowman says or thinks
You seldom see him drinkin' in a barroom
Unless somebody else is buyin' drinks

But the farmer and the cowman should be friends
Oh, the farmer 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 rancher's 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 just 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 daughter

Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the rancher's gals
