Oklahoma! Soundtrack - The Farmer and the Cowman LYRICS

Andrew:
Oh, 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 cain'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.

All:
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals.

Farmer:
I'd like to say a word fer the farmer,

Eller:
Well, say it!

Farmer:
He come out west and made a lot of changes

Man:
That's right!

Will:
He come out west and built a lot of fences,

Curly:
And built 'em right across our cattle ranges.

Cowboy:
Why don't you dirt strangers go back to Missouri where you belong?

Will:
We got just as much right here!

Farmer:
Shut up!
The farmer a good in criticism
No matter what the cowman says or thinks
You seldom see 'im drinkin' in a bar room

Curly:
Unless someboy else's buyin' drinks

Andrew:
Oh, 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,
That's no reason why they cain't be friends

Men:
Yeep yeep!

All:
Territory folks should stick together,
Territory folks should all be pals.
Cowboys dance with farmer's daughters,
Farmers dance with the ranchers' gals.
