Oklahoma movie - The Farmer And The Cowman lyrics

rate me

<br>

The farmer and the cowman should be friends. <br>

Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends.<br>

One man likes to push a plough, the other likes to chase a cow, <br>

But that's no reason why they cain't be friends. <br>

<br>

Territory folks should stick together, <br>

Territory folks should all be pals. <br>

Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters, <br>

Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals. (repeat)<br>

<br>

I'd like to say a word for the farmer, <br>

He come out west and made a lot of changes <br>

<br>

He come out west and built a lot of fences, <br>

<br>

And built 'em right acrost our cattle ranges. <br>

<br>

The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen, no matter what the cowman says of things.<br>

You seldom see 'em drinkin' in a bar room<br>

<br>

Unless somebody else is buyin drinks.<br>

<br>

But the farmer and the cowman should be friends.<br>

Oh, the famer and the cowman should be friends.<br>

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.<br>

<br>

Territory folks should stick together, <br>

Territory folks should all be pals. <br>

Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters, <br>

Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals. <br>

<br>

I'd like to say a word for the cowboy, the road he treads is difficult and stoney.<br>

He rides for days on end with jist a pony for a friend.<br>

<br>

I sure am feelin' sorry for the pony!<br>

<br>

The farmer should be sociable with the cowboy if he rides by and asks for food and water.<br>

Don't treat him like a louse make him welcome in your house.<br>

<br>

But be sure that you lock up your wife and daughters!<br>

<br>

Territory folks should stick together, <br>

Territory folks should all be pals. <br>

Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters, <br>

Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals.<br>

<br>
