The Farmer and the Cowman

Yeehaw

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 can't be friends

Territory folks should stick together

Territory folks should all be pals

Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters

Farmers dance with the rancher's gals

Territory folks should stick together

Territory folks should all be pals

Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters

Farmers dance with the rancher's gals

I'd like to say a word for the farmer

(Well, say it)

He come out west and made a lot of changes

He come out west and built a lot of fences

And built them right acrost our cattle ranges

I'd like to say a word for the cowboy

(Oh, you would?)

Road he treads is difficult and stony

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

When 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)

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 can't be friends

When this territory is a state

And joins the Union, just like all the others

The farmer and the cowman and the merchant

Must all behave themselves and act like brothers

I'd like to teach you all a little saying

And learn these words by heart the way you should

I don't say I'm no better than anybody else

But I'll be damned if I ain't just as good

I don't say I'm no better than anybody else

But I'll be damned if I ain't just as good (Hey)

Territory folks should stick together

Territory folks should all be pals

Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters

Farmers dance with the rancher's gals
