Yee-haw!

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 folk should stick together

Territory folk should all be pals

Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters

Farmers dance with the rancher's gals

Territory folk should stick together

Territory folk 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 across our cattle ranges

I'd like to say a word for the cowboy

Oh, you would?

The road he treads is difficult and stony

He rides for days on end with just a pony for a friend

I sure am feeling sorry for the pony

The farmer should be sociable with the cowfolk

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 like 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!

Territory folk should stick together

Territory folk should all be pals

Cowboys dance with the farmer's daughters

Farmers dance with the rancher's gals
