The Farmer and the Cowman Lyrics
Rogers - The Farmer And The Cowman
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 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 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 buying drinks
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 ranchers' gals
I'd like to say a word for the cowboy
The road he treds is difficult and stony
He rides for days on end with just a pony for a friend
I sure am feelin' sorry fer 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 lous make him welcome in yer house
But be sure that you lock up yer wife and daughter
Territory folks should stick together
Territory folks should all be pals
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals
